How to reduce abrasion damage to PV module antisoiling coatings during robotic cleaning

Researchers in India found that dust during robotic cleaning can dramatically accelerate the degradation of hydrophobic antisoiling coatings on PV modules. Softer brushes, higher cleaning speeds, optimized cleaning intervals, and appropriate brush rotation can significantly extend coating lifetime.

The race for space solar

The space economy could be worth as much at $2 trillion by 2040 – according to a recent report by professional services provider PwC. The cisLunar orbit, between the earth and the moon, is particularly promising. But all of it requires power and, as it has for decades, that means PV – and both the technology and supplier landscape for orbital solar is diversifying. Eternal Sun | WAVELABS‘ Pepijn Veling reports from a series of events the company has attended across the country, on what is a fast-evolving technology and business landscape.
