The large-scale deployment of low-cost monitoring systems has the potential to revolutionize
the field of urban hydrology monitoring, bringing improved urban management, and a better …

Many sites suitable for photovoltaic (PV), concentrated solar power (CSP) or hybrid CSP/PV
plants are located in the desert or arid and semi-arid areas, where they can suffer from …

The development and deployment of photovoltaic power plants is still growing all over the
world with the significant decrease of costs and by reducing the energy dependence to fossil …

Photovoltaic technology is still develo** in the MENA region. Nevertheless, soiling
remains a major cause for performance loss in PV Modules. In this work, the soiling rate is …

Abstract The Boundary layer Air Quality-analysis Using Network of Instruments (BAQUNIN)
supersite is presented. The site has been collecting pollutant concentrations and …

The functioning of photovoltaic (PV) systems mainly depends on the climatic conditions,
including incident solar irradiance intensity and module temperature. Thus, irradiance and …

Several ground-based remote sensing and in-situ instruments were used to investigate the
development of the sea-breeze front and its effect on both the optical and physical aerosol …

This paper describes a methodology used to evaluate pyranometers and reference cell
performance in relation to solar overirradiance (OIR) events. By definition, these events are …

Solar resource availability of a location depends on the local meteorological parameters.
Therefore, the selection of suitable meteorological variable is highly desirable to develop the …

Abstract Industrial Process Heat (IPH) represents a promising sector of application for solar
concentration technologies–the Linear Fresnel Reflectors (LFR) as an alternative to the …
