“…Scattering of irradiance is primarily due to aerosols [38], and happens at all wavelengths, a part of the scattered radiation is sent back to the outer space while the other part, the diffuse radiation, is scattered towards the ground. The solar radiation -unaffected by the scattering phenomenonthat reaches directly from the solar disk is the direct (or beam) normal irradiance DNI [37], [39]. Absorption happens only at selective wavelengths, the short-wave UV radiation below 0.29 μm is absorbed by atmospheric Ozone, while CA Carbon dioxide absorbs long-wave Infra-Red radiation [37,39,40].…”

Aerosols' optical effect is much more scattering than absorbent, according to Pettit and Freese [41].…”

“…Capderou's Linke turbidity formula[89] was validated, and was judged suitable for low altitudes. In Asia, Rathore et al[39] (India, 8 years) generated a clear-sky solar map of India; they validated the r.sun model. The GHI, DNI and DI were calculated with low MBE under the value of ±10% recommended by[90], thus the r.sun model is qualified to compute the irradiation in India.…”

Many sites with high solar radiation face high dust loads that reduce energy generation by concentrated solar power plants. This review presents the attenuative impacts of atmospheric aerosols, as well as reflectivity losses due to soiling of solar reflectors, by covering both experimental investigations and numerical studies; along with presenting the theoretical background. The chemical nature of aerosols, and the physics of soiling and atmospheric extinction phenomena (scattering and absorption) are also reviewed. Suspended particles like aerosols result in atmospheric extinction of the solar radiation that reaches the concentrators, and the deposition of these particles on the solar reflectors provokes decreases up to 80% in their reflectivity, and thus enhances the cumulus of optical losses and the reduction of energy production. Even though dust affects both CSP and photovoltaics, CSP technologies suffer more losses. The impact of dust should be particularly considered during the planning phase of solar thermal plants, since its consequent reduction in energy output can be severe. While there have been multiple papers to review dust-related problems for PV, the present paper is the first literature review dedicated to the impact of soiling on concentrated solar power.

“…Every year, India receives around 5,000 trillion kWh of solar energy with most parts receiving radiation of 4–7 kWh m -2 every day. Utilizing this abundant and freely available solar energy offers a solution to global climate change and fossil fuel emissions ( Rathore et al, 2019a ).…”

Solar energy has become a leading solution to meet the increasing energy demand of growing populations. Solar photovoltaic technology is an efficient option to generate electricity from solar energy and mitigate climate change. Although the development and growth of solar photovoltaics has had a positive impact on energy system decarbonization, but end-of-life solar panels might become toxic waste if not properly disposed of. Presently in India, approximately 200,000 tonnes of solar photovoltaic waste are expected to be produced by 2030 and 1.8 million tonnes by 2050, by which time solar waste could grow to 60 million tonnes globally. Solar waste has recently been included in the category of waste electrical and electronic equipment to restrict the negative influence of continual development. Recent advancements have been focused only on increasing the efficiency of solar photovoltaic panels without considering the impact of waste solar panels on the environment and the issue of appropriate disposal of waste panels. Effective and ecofriendly methods for recycling end-of-life waste are rarely considered. There is a need to critically investigate and manage the disposal and recycling of solar panels waste. This review article addresses handling and recycling of solar waste, which will be present in large quantities after 25 years. We review multiple adopted technologies to recycle solar waste and technological advancement achieved while recycling photovoltaic waste. Further life cycle assessment of recycling technologies is also discussed.
