Overview
I recently completed my PhD in photovoltaic performance and soiling characterisation, which resulted in two conferences and eight research papers, enabling me to acquire enormous skills and experience in employing advanced technology to investigate photovoltaic performance/soiling impact developing soiling mapping/forecasting. The process developed my skills in anti-soiling coating and fabrication using different materials. Future targets are to work with a research group and acquire funding to develop an anti-soiling coating (superhydrophobic, super hydrophilic and superoleophobic) that could be globally deployed to mitigate the impact of soiling on PV performance.
