State-of-the-Art research on quantifying and mitigating soiling and abrasion for solar power

Countries with some of the best solar resource suffer disproportionally from soiling and abrasion, which reduces system conversion efficiencies and decreases equipment lifetime. The special collection covers climatological analyses, soiling meteorology and forecasting models, best installation practices to reduce soiling and abrasion, and improvements to equipment and materials to mitigate soiling and abrasion.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
