Soiling from dust and other particles is one of the biggest causes of PV underperformance worldwide. Image: Kiwa PI Berlin. Soiling-related losses are among the most serious threats to PV performance.

Researchers in Spain reviewed six models used to calculate incidence angle modifier (IAM) losses in photovoltaic systems. They identified the Martín-Ruiz model as the most comprehensive, as it ...

Researchers in Qatar have used an algorithm relying on a variant of the popular logic-based puzzle to determine the optimal way to eliminate cluster shading. They have tested the new approach under ...

Researchers at Canada's Western University demonstrated that a foam-backed floating solar PV system with an air-bubbler can ...

Utilize I-V curve plotting with specialized equipment to assess PV array performance under real-world conditions. Analyze factors such as shading, soiling, temperature, and module degradation that ...
