Optical degradation impact on the spectral performance of photovoltaic technology
Álvaro Fernández-Solas, Leonardo Micheli, Florencia Almonacid +1
The exponential growth of global capacity along with a reduction in manufacturing costs in the last two decades has caused photovoltaic (PV) energy technology to reach a high matur…
Spectral nature of soiling and its impact on multi-junction based concentrator systems
Eduardo F. Fernandez, Daniel Chemisana, Leonardo Micheli +1
Soiling, which consists of dust, dirt and particles accumulated on the surface of conventional or concentrator photovoltaic modules, absorbs, scatters, and reflects part of the inc…
Design, characterization and indoor validation of the optical soiling detector "DUSST"
Álvaro Fernández-Solas, Leonardo Micheli, Matthew Muller +2
Nowadays, photovoltaic (PV) technology has reached a high level of maturity in terms of module efficiency and cost competitiveness in comparison with other energy technologies. As…
Selection of optimal wavelengths for optical soiling modelling and detection in photovoltaic modules
Leonardo Micheli, Eduardo F. Fernandez, Matthew Muller +2
Soiling impacts the photovoltaic (PV) module performance by reducing the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic cells and by changing their external spectral response. Currently…
Correlating Photovoltaic Soiling Losses to Waveband and Single-Value Transmittance Measurements
Leonardo Micheli, Jose A. Caballero, Eduardo F. Fernandez +4
This paper presents the results of an investigation on the spectral losses of photovoltaic (PV) soiling. The transmittance of a glass coupon exposed to natural soiling outdoors in…
