About
Celia Wilkins is a materials scientist and engineer specializing in photovoltaic (PV) module durability and advanced self-cleaning surface technologies. Her most cited work, "Transparent Electrodynamic Screen (EDS) Films - Industrial Production and Lamination onto PV Modules and CSP Mirrors for Self Cleaning Function" (2020), addresses a critical challenge in solar energy: soiling and dust accumulation that reduce efficiency. In this study, Wilkins pioneered the scalable production and integration of transparent electrodynamic screen films, demonstrating their lamination onto both PV modules and concentrating solar power (CSP) mirrors. By enabling automated, water-free cleaning, her research directly enhances long-term energy yield and reduces maintenance costs for utility-scale solar installations. Although her citation count is currently modest (3 citations), the work represents an early, foundational contribution to a rapidly growing field—industrializing a technology that could transform solar farm operations globally. Wilkins’ focus on bridging lab-scale innovation with real-world manufacturing underscores her commitment to practical, deployable solutions. Her research sits at the intersection of materials engineering, renewable energy, and surface science, offering a glimpse into the future of self-sustaining, high-efficiency solar infrastructure.
