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 …

Soiling is the process whereby dirt, dust, and organic/inorganic contaminants deposit on the
surface of a photovoltaic (PV) module. It causes significant economic losses and can have a …

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 …

Soiling of solar reflectors is a great challenge in regions with high aerosol concentrations
and little rain such as arid and semi-arid climates. Actually, cleaning operations of the solar …

Photovoltaic soiling-energy loss due to dust and particulate matter (PM) deposition-remains
a top concern for global renewable energy generation. To minimize energy losses, the …

It is known that the deposited dust prevents the passage of sunlight and reduces the
transmission coefficient of solar energy, which, in turn, affects the efficiency of solar panels …

Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants must consider and minimise the effects that losses
in mirror reflectivity, due to soiling, have on limiting operational efficiency. This study …

The efficiency of solar panels is significantly reduced by dust and air pollution deposition.
This issue (known as soiling) is a roadblock to a renewable future and can only be mitigated …

Building on the need to enhance the efficiency of concentrating solar power plants, this
study addresses the challenge of soiling on reflective surfaces, which reduces the plant's …

In this work, the optical loss that occurs specifically due to the soiling effect will be
emphasized. Specifically, we will study the optical performance of CSP technologies under …
