Abstract
Countries with some of the best solar resources suffer disproportionately from soiling and abrasion, which reduces system conversion efficiencies and decreases equipment lifetime. This Special Collection covers climatological analyses, soiling metrology, best installation practices to reduce soiling and abrasion, and improvements to equipment and materials to mitigate soiling and abrasion.
