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 …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is a promising and highly cost-competitive technology for
sustainable power supply, enjoying a continuous global installation growth supported by the …

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 …

With the development of material engineering and coating industries, superhydrophobic
coatings with exceptional water repellence have increasingly come into researchers' …

In this manuscript we review research on the feedback mechanisms between photovoltaic
energy production and the urban environment, with an emphasis on synthesizing what is …

Mineral dust has a great effect on the performance of solar power plants not only by
absorbing and scattering solar radiation, but also due to soiling effects. The aim of the …

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 …

This paper aims to study the relationship between the density of mass, transmittance, and
electrical performance through experimental methods, which obtains a suitable index for …

Renewable energy is crucial to reducing climate change as it replaces fossil fuel-based
energy sources partially. However, renewable energy facilities are highly dependent on …

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; …
