A robot-view image dataset of photovoltaic panel reference lines with paired synthetic soiling for cleaning robot navigation [PDF]
Data in BriefThis dataset provides robot-view photovoltaic (PV) panel images for reference line perception under visual soiling. The images are captured from a top-down camera viewpoint that approximates the onboard view of a PV cleaning robot.

Impact of soiling on Si and CdTe PV modules: Case study in different Brazil climate zones
Energy Conversion and Management: X, 2021 Soiling, particulate accumulation on photovoltaic (PV) module surfaces, reduces the available solar resource and the resulting generated device power. This case-study summarizes initial results of 5-year research on the contrasting soiling conditions in ...

Carbon for soils, not soils for carbon
Global Change Biology, 2023 AbstractThe role of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration as a ‘win‐win’ solution to both climate change and food insecurity receives an increasing promotion. The opportunity may be too good to be missed! Yet the tremendous complexity of the two issues at stake calls for a detailed and nuanced examination of any potential solution, no matter how ...

Comparative study of soiling effect on CSP and PV technologies under semi-arid climate in Morocco
Solar Energy Advances, 2022 Soiling of solar collectors reduces the efficiency of both concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic technologies (PV), and increases the operations and maintenance (O&M) costs.

A proposal for the assessment of soil security: Soil functions, soil services and threats to soil
Soil Security, 2022 Human societies face six existential challenges to their sustainable development. These challenges have been previously addressed by a myriad of concepts such as soil conservation, soil quality, and soil health. Yet, of these, only soil security attempts to integrate the six existential challenges concurrently through the five biophysical and socio ...
