About
M.Z. Zulkefli is a researcher focused on advancing solar photovoltaic (PV) technology through innovative engineering solutions. Their key research areas include solar energy optimization, concentrating photovoltaic systems, and automated cleaning mechanisms for renewable energy infrastructure. Zulkefli’s most notable contribution is the development of a dual-function PV system that integrates multiple fixed concentrating mirrors with a cooling mechanism to enhance irradiance absorption and panel efficiency. Complementing this, they designed an improved robotic cleaning system using an Arduino-based approach, addressing the critical issue of dust accumulation on solar panels. This work, published in 2017 and garnering 6 citations, demonstrates a practical, low-cost strategy for boosting PV performance in real-world conditions. By merging optical concentration, thermal management, and automation, Zulkefli’s research offers a holistic solution for maximizing solar energy output. Their interdisciplinary approach—bridging mechanical design, electronics, and renewable energy—positions them as a contributor to sustainable technology development, with potential applications in arid or high-dust environments where panel soiling significantly reduces efficiency.
