Estimation of an Optimal PV Panel Cleaning Strategy Based on Both Annual Radiation Profile and Module Degradation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
This paper addresses a methodology to optimize PV panel cleaning schedule. PV system yield is impacted due to soiling on panel surface. This soiling changes during the system operation as a consequence of environmental conditions.

Increasing the Resolution and Spectral Range of Measured Direct Irradiance Spectra for PV Applications

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The spectral distribution of the solar irradiance incident on photovoltaic (PV) modules is a key variable controlling their power production. It is required to properly simulate the production and performance of PV plants based on technologies with ...

Self‐Sintering Ionogel Binder for Flexible, Recyclable, and Healable Printed Giant Magnetoresistive Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electronic waste has emerged as a major environmental challenge, driven by the massive consumption and a limited lifetime of modern electronic devices, stimulating the development of sustainable electronics. Here, an all‐biomaterial gelatin‐choline‐citric acid ([Ch][CA]) ionogel is developed as an active binder to realize self‐sintered ...

Local variability in PV soiling rate

open access: yes, 2018
We examine the correlation between monthly PV system soiling rates over a multi-year period within two groups of First Solar soiling stations in separate regions of California as a function of site separation.

Quantifying and mitigating soiling and abrasion in solar power [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Countries with some of the best solar resources suffer disproportionately from soiling and abrasion, which reduces system conversion efficiencies and decreases equipment lifetime. This Special Collection covers climatological analyses, soiling metrology,

Fully Additive Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors on Renewable and Compostable Substrates Enable Ultrasensitive Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fully additive vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs) with channel‐length of 226 nm on a 50 µm compostable substrate achieve >106 current modulation and ∼36 mS transconductance. Ion‐selective integration enables 1.1 mA dec−1 sensitivity and 36 µm detection limit, highlighting a scalable platform for sustainable electronics and ...

Soiling avoidance by ants

open access: yes, 2016
"Using both an 8-choice and a single-choice arena displaying organic muck soil and clay varying in moisture, we found that walking ants, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis and Aphaenogaster rudis, were strongly deterred by soiling treatments.
