Impact of Sahelian Climate Variables on Solar Photovoltaic Output

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is a critical pathway for advancing the energy transition in the Sahel. However, PV module performance in this region is strongly constrained by extreme climatic conditions. This study investigates the effects of (1) wind speed, (2) relative humidity, (3) temperature, (4) dust deposition, and (5) solar irradiance

Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.
