Journal Article
Chanchangi, Y. N., Ghosh, A., Micheli, L., Fernández, E. F., Sundaram, S., & Mallick, T. K. (in press). Soiling mapping through optical losses for Nigeria. Renewable Energy, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2022.07.019

Soiling consists of the accumulation of dust on the solar panel's surface and has a deleterious effect on solar photovoltaic devices' performance, which varies with location. However, soiling losses and rates are significantly under-reported or under... Read More about Soiling mapping through optical losses for Nigeria.
