The current study experimentally investigates the performance of two identical pairs of photovoltaic (PV) panels, the first being clean and the second being artificially polluted with three different, commonly met in urban and other environments, air pollutants (i.e. red soil, limestone and...

The vast growth of the mobile telecommunication (T/C) sector during the recent years has led to the extension of the respective networks even to the most remote areas. Many of these areas, however, often lack electricity grid supply and as a result installation of energy autonomous T/C stations,...

The exploitation of solar energy by autonomous, photovoltaic (PV) based systems offers the opportunity for satisfying the electrification needs of numerous remote consumers worldwide in an environmentally friendly way. On the other hand, the sustainable character of these systems is strongly...
