Structural and physicochemical properties of dust collected on PV panels surfaces and their potential influence on these solar modules efficiency in Dakar, Senegal, West Africa

Two dust samples were collected from the same solar panels on June, 2017 in Dakar. The first was sent to Ithemba Labs (South Africa) and the second to Lincon Nebraska University (USA) for structural and physical properties study. This work aims to evaluate the dust impact on PV efficiency. The study...
