Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT has developed a solar module cleaning system that uses structure-borne sound and targeted mechanical vibrations to dislodge dust. Researchers ...
Researchers studying PV panels in Chile’s hyper-arid Atacama Desert found that cemented soiling can cause annual energy losses of up to 9.8%. Their combined field and laboratory work shows that dry ...
Researchers developed a wind-powered triboelectric nanogenerator that drives a self-cleaning system for solar panels, restoring 96% of their efficiency. Dust accumulation is a major problem for solar ...
