Short Announcement

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Jiacheng Qi’s pioneering research on the use of pressurized water cleaning to enhance photovoltaic (PV) system efficiency has been showcased in PV Magazine, a leading global platform for solar energy advancements. The article, titled "Pressurized water cleaning can improve PV generation efficiency by 10%", focuses on Dr. Qi’s study that explores an innovative method to boost energy output from solar panels through efficient cleaning techniques.

The research reveals that utilizing pressurized water for cleaning PV systems can significantly increase electricity generation efficiency by up to 10%, compared to traditional cleaning methods. This improvement is especially notable in arid and dusty environments where soiling of PV modules can drastically reduce performance. Dr. Qi’s findings suggest that adopting this technique could lead to substantial gains in energy yield and economic benefits for solar power plants around the world. 

This recognition highlights our team’s ongoing effort to discover practical and effective solutions for enhancing renewable energy technologies.
