Techno-Economic Assessment of Soiling Losses and Mitigation Strategies for Solar Power Generation

Elsevier,

Joule, 2019, ISSN 2542-4351, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2019.08.019.

Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a very promising and rapidly growing technology (particularly in the developing world), but one of the problems of solar panels is that they “soil” – ie over time they become damaged by dust / pollution / animal waste / moss etc, and this limits their performance.
