The purpose of this review survey is to provide a literature compilation, updating materials
reported in several review papers on solar-device soiling and mitigation approaches …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is one of the renewable energy (RE) technologies that offers a fast
option for deployment. It is rated according to its maximum DC power output (W p) which is …

Within the United States solar energy industry, there is a general motto of “set it and forget it”
with solar energy. This notion is derived from much of the research and reliability studies …

Soiling by dry deposition affects the power output of photovoltaic (PV) modules, especially
under dry and arid conditions that favor natural atmospheric aerosols (wind-blown dust). In …

The present study analyzes the soiling losses of a 1 MW photovoltaic system installed in the
South of Spain. Both the Levelized Cost of Energy and the Net Present Value are used to …

The main purposes of this study are: i) evaluating magnitude of error in predicting soiling
power loss of photovoltaic (PV) modules based on the measurement of short-circuit current; …

This paper presents the comparative performance evaluation of three commercially
available photovoltaic modules (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and single junction …

Natural dust accumulation or soiling on the surfaces of PV modules in large-scale PV power
plants has a significant effect on the overall performance of these power plants, especially …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) deployments are growing rapidly to provide a sustainable source of
electricity, but their output is strongly impacted by environmental phenomena such as soiling …

Nowadays, hybrid solar plant with Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Photovoltaic
systems (PV) is the optimal installation for solar energy conversion. However, a cleaning …
