A new report by the International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA-PVPS) estimates that lost revenue from PV module soiling amounts to more than €3 billion ($3.2 billion) per ...

Scientists in Morocco have conceived an experimental–numerical model to quantify how fly ash soiling affects photovoltaic (PV) modules, capturing both optical losses and thermal effects. Their ...

Scientists are developing a low-cost, transparent, anti-soiling coating for solar reflectors to optimize energy efficiency while lowering operating and maintenance costs and avoiding negative ...

Soiling from dust and other particles is one of the biggest causes of PV underperformance worldwide. Image: Kiwa PI Berlin. Soiling-related losses are among the most serious threats to PV performance.

My buddy, Pete, joined me beside the neighborhood pool. My two youngest kids were in Raleigh with my parents, and I was there with my 11-year-old, who was off swimming with his friends. His measure of ...

Children who have soiling problems are more likely than their peers to have a range of behavioural and emotional difficulties. Children who have soiling problems are more likely than their peers to ...
