Does photovoltaic & concentrated solar power affect decarbonization rates?In this study we analyse one aspect of this coupling: How renewable energy (RE) capacity, and therefore decarbonization rates, may be affected under SRM deployment by modification of photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) production potential.
Does changing particulate deposition affect solar power production efficiency?However, the effect of changing particulate deposition onto solar panel surfaces on solar power production efficiency (i.e., soiling) has not been studied. We therefore characterize probabilistic outcomes across multiple climate models and scenarios.
How can circularity improve the sustainability of solar photovoltaics?To enhance the sustainability of solar photovoltaics via circularity Ovaitt et al.
