Webinar FOTOPLAT - Influence of soiling on power losses

On Thursday, 24th february2022, FOTOPLAT - Plataforma Tecnológica Española Fotovoltaica organizes, in collaboration with UNEF, a technical webinar entitled "Influence of soiling on power losses in different photovoltaic technologies: Laboratory tests".

A tour on soiling and abrasion in photovoltaic technology will be carried out. The fundamental mechanisms of adherence of dirt particles to photovoltaic modules are initially described, and an innovative antisoiling solution is presented. Also, the losses produced by different types and degrees of dirt on the production of different technologies are quantified, correlating them with the density of surface dirt and the subject of abrasion will be deepened, through a study of the impact of linear abrasion on different materials used in photovoltaic modules.

The webinar will be given by Jaione Bengoechea, CENER, a member organization of UNEF.

• About Jaione Bengoechea: Dr. Jaione Bengoechea Apezteguia has more than 20 years of experience in research and development projects applied to photovoltaic solar energy. She graduated in Physics from the University of Zaragoza, she received from her and her Doctorate in Materials Science in 2006 from the University of the Basque Country. She currently coordinates the activities of the Group of Materials and Coatings for Energy of the National Center for Renewable Energies (CENER). Her main research activities focus on dirt and abrasion problems related to photovoltaic technology, new materials for metallization of solar cells and passive cooling strategies, leading several projects in this field. She is a member of the national subcommittee TC82 / WG2, of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), a member of the EERA-PV, and also represents Spain in the PVPS Executive Committee of the International Energy Agency (IEA).
