Abstract: Aerosol deposition is highly concerned recently due to its significant impact on surface glass cleaning, glass transmittance and energy conversion of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). Thus, this paper reviewed direct transmittance degradation works of PV module surface glasses, and employed several integrated and improved experiment and model methods to investigate the correlation effects of PM2.5 deposition dynamics, tilt angles, surface conditions and self-cleaning TiO2 nanocoating on glasses. Series of physical models from ambient aerosol concentration to deposition density and transmittance reduction were extended or newly developed. Measured and modeled data could inter-validate with each other and literature results. The usage condition of Al-Hasan model was discovered as 0Keywords: Aerosol dynamics; TiO2 nanocoating; Deposition density; Transmittance reduction; Mathematic modeling (search for similar items in EconPapers)
