This review provides a comprehensive, detailed description and contextualization of soiling
research evolution in the solar energy field throughout time. The analysis consists of past …

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation has become one of the key technologies to reach
energy-saving and carbon reduction targets. However, dust accumulation will significantly …

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 …

Different building materials such as sand, cement, and gypsum are transported and stored
poorly in Iraq (open-air), so large amounts of them fly into the air and form part of the dust. In …

Alternative energy sources-such as solar energy-is potentially needed, as the energy sector
in Palestine is completely controlled by Israeli authorities. Solar energy has the potential to …

The soiling effect is presently assessed on heliostats of the very-high concentration solar
tower facility located in Móstoles on the outskirts of Madrid, Spain, covering the lack of …

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

Heliostat-based concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) systems can offer immense
potential to provide low-cost, dispatchable renewable thermal and electrical energy to help …

Solar reflectors are exposed to outdoor environments where dust accumulation is a primary
degrading factor on optical performance. In this study, the effect of dust accumulation on …

The soiling phenomenon originating from dust particle deposition on solar energy facilities
and systems is getting more and more significant. Some studies have attempted to provide …
