About

Massaab El Ydrissi is a researcher dedicated to advancing solar energy technologies, with a primary focus on photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) systems in challenging climates. His work addresses the critical issue of dust accumulation on solar panels, a major barrier to efficiency in semi-arid regions. His most cited paper, "Developing a cleaning strategy for hybrid solar plants PV/CSP: Case study for semi-arid climate" (2021, 55 citations), establishes a foundational framework for optimizing cleaning schedules to maintain energy output. Expanding on this, his study "Dust Accumulation and Photovoltaic Performance in Semi-Arid Climate: Experimental Investigation and Design of Cleaning Robot" (2021, 8 citations) bridges experimental analysis with practical engineering, proposing an autonomous cleaning robot tailored for arid environments. By quantifying performance losses from soiling and designing cost-effective mitigation strategies, El Ydrissi’s contributions directly support the reliability and economic viability of solar installations in water-scarce regions. His work is particularly valuable for researchers and engineers seeking to enhance renewable energy resilience in the face of environmental challenges, offering actionable insights for both utility-scale plants and off-grid systems.
