Renewable energy is rapidly increasing in importance in the energy mix in many countries worlwide. They are a key part of the energy transition to more sustainable energy systems.Green roofs are multi-layered systems cov...

Abstract Solar-powered electric-vehicle (EV) charging in tropical, PV-rich regions such as Uganda faces coupled stressors from high ambient temperature and intermittent solar irradiance, which can destabilize conventiona...

Solar iron production from H2-based direct reduction of iron ore was investigated in a continuously particle-fed reactor for performance analysis. Concentrated solar energy was used as the external source of high-tempera...

The global water emergency requires innovative and sustainable solutions to afford clean water especially after a rapid growing populations and industrial practices besides environmental changes. Solar desalination, part...

Today’s farming is up against the tough task of boosting crop yields while also taking care of the environment. The way pesticides and herbicides are usually applied can be a real hassle. It's often not very efficient,...

The paper represents the experimental implementation of a Drone-based solar panel inspection using YOLOv8-based object detection with Ultraviolet sensing for automated and enhanced defect inspection. A quadcopter platfor...

Calibrated measurements of electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs) are necessary to characterize fluid and kinetic processes in weakly collisional and nearly collisionless plasmas such as the solar wind. Therefor...

Between 2005 January 1 and 2017 November 25, the Wind spacecraft measured 3,996,051 electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs) in the near-Earth solar wind. The instrument was calibrated, and velocity moments were ...

Abstract The number of electric vehicles has increased due to emission concerns associated with conventional transportation systems. Therefore, the energy management of charging demand has been quite consequential in rec...

Abstract Freshwater scarcity and increasing energy demands pose serious challenges, and they are mainly experienced in arid environments and remote locations that are not grid-connected. In order to tackle these problems...

Abstract This study presents the optimization and performance analysis of a tandem solar cell structure with the solar cell capacitance simulator in one dimension (SCAPS-1D). The novel monolithic two-terminal (2 T) tand...

Accurately modeling the solar magnetic field is important for understanding long-term solar activity and space weather, but it is challenging due to limited observations, especially near the Sun’s poles. The surface fl...

In situ observations by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) suggest that the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) undergoes near-continuous magnetic reconnection close to the Sun, in stark contrast to scarce observations of this phenom...

To develop solar cell technology, it is essential to focus on improving its efficiency at the temperatures typically encountered during operation. This study used third-generation quantum-dot solar cells (ITO/NiO/GaAs/Cd...

Solar peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is a promising approach that allows prosumers and consumers to exchange energy directly, which reduces dependence on the centralized power grid. However, implementing such a P2P en...

Abstract Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) solar cells are promising candidates for high-specific-power photovoltaics due to their strong light-matter interactions, such as their high absorption coefficients. The per...

High latitudes, characterized by extremely low temperatures, unique day–night cycles, and year-round ice and snow cover, present substantial challenges for energy supply and sustainability. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs...

Abstract The conversion of solar radiation into thermal energy has gained increasing attention due to the growing demand for renewable sources of heat and electricity. Nanofluids, owing to their enhanced heat transfer ca...

Abstract India’s ambitious renewable energy targets and its vision for energy self-reliance critically depend on a resilient and competitive solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing ecosystem. However, India’s heavy rel...
