Scientists have used a CPLEX-based MIP model and tested it on part of the 10 MW Masdar City Solar Fotovoltaic plant. In their simulation, they assume the use of two robot -like cleaning agents to work on a horizon of 90 days. The total cleaning costs were estimated at $ 7,987. September 26, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by scientists from the University of Sharjah of the United Arab Emirates (VAE) has developed a new model to optimize the cleaning schedule of PV panels in power plants in deserts. They have demonstrated the technology using data from a…

Breakthrough of solar fuel can unlock cheaper green energy Researchers from Lund University have taken an important step in the direction of solving one of the greatest obstacles in the development of efficient sunscreen. Their work shows how cheap iron-based systems can be used more effectively to store solar energy as fuel, which makes the road clear for cheaper and more sustainable alternatives for fossil fuels. Producing fuels such as green hydrogen requires catalysts that can capture solar energy and transfer electrical loads to acceptorolecules. Iron, an abundant and environmentally friendly metal, has long been considered a promising candidate. Nevertheless,…
