TL;DR: In this article, numerical and analytical models of sand and dust particle accumulation on photovoltaic modules in dry regions are presented and supported by a laboratory investigation of sand particles accumulation on a glass surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comparative assessment of the near-term economic benefits of grid-connected residential PV systems and demonstrate the importance of location specific system planning and demand-generation matching through optimal sizing of the PV system and demand side management.

TL;DR: The EU PV Technology Platform as mentioned in this paper aims at joining forces on a European level to contribute to the further development of photovoltaic solar energy into a competitive technology that can be applied on a large scale and to the strengthening of the position of the European PV industry on the global market.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of variations of compositions on the crystal lattice of the absorber layer of the kesterite solar cells is studied. And the authors show that a decrease of the Cu content in the CZTSe absorbber layer diminishes the unit cell volume.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide revised EROI calculations for PV electricity in Switzerland, adopting both conventional and "extended" system boundaries, to contrast with their results, which points to an order-of-magnitude underestimate of PV in Switzerland.
