Dew as a Detrimental Influencing Factor for Soiling of PV Modules
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of dew on photovoltaic modules during night and early morning hours was examined, and the authors showed that the prevention of condensation can be a method to mitigate soiling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing Indoor and Outdoor Soiling Experiments for Different Glass Coatings and Microstructural Analysis of Particle Caking Processes
Klemens Ilse,Jorge Rabanal,Lukas Schonleber,Muhammad Zahid Khan,Volker Naumann,Christian Hagendorf,Jörg Bagdahn +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of outdoor and indoor soiling experiments with four differently coated glass samples were presented, and the mechanism of water interaction during dew events was found to be the key influencing factor for the soiling performance of the different coatings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced performance testing of anti-soiling coatings – Part I: Sequential laboratory test methodology covering the physics of natural soiling processes
Klemens Ilse,Muhammad Zahid Khan,Nicoleta Voicu,Volker Naumann,Christian Hagendorf,Jörg Bagdahn +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an advanced laboratory soiling test setup and corresponding sequential testing procedures representing the underlying physics of soiling and self-cleaning processes were developed, aiming at fast, reliable and standardized evaluation of the anti-soiling performance of glass coatings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced performance testing of anti-soiling coatings - Part II: Particle-size dependent analysis for physical understanding of dust removal processes and determination of adhesion forces
Klemens Ilse,Muhammad Zahid Khan,Nicoleta Voicu,Volker Naumann,Christian Hagendorf,Jörg Bagdahn +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an advanced laboratory soiling test setup and sequential test procedures were used to evaluate the anti-soiling performance of glass coatings, and the theoretical analysis showed that the physical processes involved are significantly influenced by particle sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimum PV module interconnection layout and mounting orientation to reduce inhomogeneous soiling losses in desert environments
Hamed Hanifi,Muhammad Zahid Khan,Bengt Jaeckel,Christian Hagendorf,Jens Schneider,Amir Abdallah,Klemens Ilse +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of three module designs with full and half-sized solar cells with different interconnection designs for different inhomogeneous soiling conditions was investigated in two mounting orientation of portrait and landscape installation with two scenarios of corner and edge soiling.
