Photovoltaic module temperature is a detrimental parameter influencing the energy yield and durability of photovoltaic systems. Among passive strategies to reduce operating solar cells, radiative cooling receiving lot attention, as an effective mean passively evacuate heat in The existence wavelength window atmospheric transparency (8–13 μm) allows sending outer space. functionalization glass t...

This study demonstrates that a drone flying above photovoltaic (PV) panels can clean the dust and enhance panels’ efficiency. If operated regularly, drone’s downward thrust generated during its cruise at certain height remove most of accumulated dust. Sandstorms are frequent in Saudi Arabia, creating deposition on PV panels, which acts as shield against solar radiation. As result, energy absorp...
