To address the need for enhancing the efficiency and harnessing the full potential of solar
energy systems, this research aims to investigate mitigating solar energy losses, thereby …

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are popular for their reliability and zero fuel costs. However, only
around 20% of solar energy is converted into electricity, while the remainder is dissipated as …

This study proposes the novel concept of waste upcycling-driven zero energy building (W-
ZEB). W-ZEB aims to accelerate the development of zero-energy buildings by incorporating …

Solar farms are subject to various environmental factors that can affect their performance
and output. One of the major factors is soiling. Consequently, it is essential to monitor and …

Through one-year experimental measurements, the current study investigated the soiling
effects and proposed a decision-making framework for a cleaning schedule based on a real …

Radiative cooling technology addresses the self-heating issue in solar cells, improving
power output. However, dust accumulation poses a significant challenge for radiative …

This paper provides an extensive review of dust detection techniques for photovoltaic
panels. The review is conducted from two main perspectives. Firstly, the paper examines the …

Photovoltaic (PV) systems allow us to tap into all abundant solar energy, however they
require regular maintenance for high efficiency and to prevent degradation. Traditional …

This research designed and built an automatic and portable cleaning mechanism for
photovoltaic panels (PVs). The climate variation defined the amount of accumulated dust; …
