About

Nasrudin Abd Rahim is a prominent researcher specializing in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, with a particular focus on the maintenance, efficiency, and longevity of solar energy systems. His work has made significant contributions to the field of renewable energy, most notably in advancing our understanding of self-cleaning mechanisms for solar panels — a critical challenge that directly impacts the performance and cost-effectiveness of PV installations worldwide. Rahim's highly influential 2018 paper on self-cleaning approaches and methods for solar photovoltaic panels has garnered an impressive 260 citations, establishing it as a foundational reference in the field. This work systematically examined various strategies to combat soiling and dust accumulation, which can dramatically reduce panel efficiency. Building on this foundation, his 2022 review on transparent self-cleaning coatings — already accumulating 97 citations — demonstrates his continued leadership in exploring innovative material-based solutions for PV maintenance. Through his research, Rahim has helped shape both academic inquiry and practical engineering solutions aimed at reducing the operational costs of solar energy systems, ultimately supporting the broader global transition toward sustainable and clean energy technologies.
