About
Dr. Hassan Z. Al Garni is a leading researcher in renewable energy systems, with a primary focus on solar photovoltaic (PV) technology and its optimization in arid environments. His most impactful work, "The Impact of Soiling on PV Module Performance in Saudi Arabia" (2022, 62 citations), addresses a critical challenge for solar deployment in desert regions: dust accumulation. By quantifying how soiling reduces PV efficiency in Saudi Arabia’s high-irradiation climate, Dr. Al Garni provides essential data for improving solar farm maintenance and energy yield predictions. His contributions extend to energy planning, where he integrates geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria decision analysis to identify optimal sites for solar and wind farms, supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 renewable energy goals. With a growing citation record and a focus on bridging technical barriers to clean energy adoption, his work is vital for researchers and policymakers advancing sustainable power in sun-rich, dust-prone regions. Dr. Al Garni’s research not only advances academic knowledge but also offers practical solutions for real-world solar energy deployment.
