Field test and electrode optimization of electrodynamic cleaning systems for solar panels

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Antonin Faes, Jacques Levrat, Nicolas Badel, Matthieu Despeisse

Soiling is the major cause of power loss of photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) in desert areas. Electrodynamic cleaning system (EDS) is an automatic and water-free integrated cleaning system for mirrors or solar panels, which uses pulsed ...

Criteria and policies to master the visual impact of solar systems in urban environments: The LESO-QSV method

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

Increased use of solar collectors in buildings is necessary but poses major challenges in existing built environ ments, especially where architectural quality is an issue. The large size of solar systems at the building scale requires careful planning, as ...

PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2019

This work, framed in the IEA SHC Task 51 "Solar Energy in Urban Planning", presents an illustrative perspective of solar energy in urban planning through the analysis of 34 international case studies conducted in 10 countries. The aim here is to examine ch ...

A plane linkage and its tessellation for deployable structure

Huijuan Feng

Deployable structures are widely used in space applications such as solar arrays and antennas. Recently, inspired by origami, more deployable structures have been developed. This paper outlined a novel design scheme for deployable structures by taking a pl ...

Towards a GIS-based Multiscale Visibility Assessment Method for Solar Urban Planning

Pietro Florio

Urban areas are facing a growing deployment of solar photovoltaic and thermal tech-nologies on building envelopes, both on roofs and on façades, essential for the realization of the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050. This process often occurs regardless of the de ...

Assessing visibility in multi-scale urban planning: A contribution to a method enhancing social acceptability of solar energy in cities

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst, Josef Andreas Schuler, Pietro Florio

Urban areas are facing a growing deployment of solar photovoltaic and thermal technologies on building envelopes, both on roofs and on façades. An effective solar energy planning process considers social acceptance, in relation to the landscape alteration ...
