Soiling consists of the deposition of contaminants onto photovoltaic (PV) modules or mirrors
and tubes of concentrated solar power systems (CSPs). It often results in a drastic reduction …

Soiling is a crucial problem for solar energy power plants particularly in regions that have
high soiling rates, dust storms, water scarcity and a great solar energy potential. Moreover …

The adoption of photovoltaic (PV) solar technology for power generation is one of the fastest
growing sources of renewable energy. In recent years, significant cost reductions of PV …

We experimentally explored vertical mounting of bifacial modules of different bifacialities for
mitigating soiling in Mumbai, where the dust accumulation rate in terms of energy loss per …

The efficiency of solar cells and photovoltaic (PV) panels are lacking significantly due to its
surface overheating by the incident solar radiation. Indeed, the generated heat energy is …

Soiling in solar panels causes a decrease in their ability to capturing solar irradiance, thus
reducing the module's power output. To reduce losses due to soiling, the panels are …

Nowadays, photovoltaic solar energy is the most clean energy used worldwide with the drop
of price and technology development. Although the weather conditions of the sites …

Green roofs are anticipated to emerge as a fundamental infrastructure requirement for
forthcoming urban constructions. This significance stems from the environmental …

Soiling in solar panels is a phenomenon to which photovoltaic power plants are exposed
around the world and that causes a decrease in the capture of solar radiation, which …

Soiling of panels in solar power plants can reduce production levels. In this thesis, we
estimate the effect of soiling on power production and efficiency, as well as the gains from …
