TLDR
In this paper, the authors provide a review survey of solar device soiling and mitigation approaches published over the past 5 years. But the focus is on the period 2013-2015, but an updated listing is also provided for the year 2012 for completeness.Abstract:
The purpose of this review survey is to provide a literature compilation, updating materials reported in several review papers on solar-device soiling and mitigation approaches published over the past 5 years. The focus is on the period 2013–2015, but an updated listing is also provided for the year 2012 for completeness. This literature review also provides the first update for a periodic, single collation report on such publications proposed in this journal two years ago. This review presents a listing of the publications, their publication source, and some brief tabulated information to help guide the reader into the focus of each of the works.read more
