VII Congresso Brasileiro de Energia Solar-2018 The Brazilian Solar Energy Congress (CBENS) is the most important technical-scientific event in Brazil in the area of solar energy conversion technologies and includes other alternatives of renewable energy sources. CBENS is the official congress of the Brazilian Solar Energy Association (ABENS) and is held every two years, promoting the meeting of researchers, professors, students and professionals in the technology area.
In its seventh edition, CBENS will be held in GRAMADO at the FAURGS Event Center from April 17 to 20, 2018. In addition to the contributions of scientific and technological works, the event will include lectures, round tables, mini-courses and technology fair.

Paper Published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews (RSER)
Paper Presented at the IEEE PVSC in Portland, Oregon
Paper Published in IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics We have published "Fundamental Studies of Adhesion of Dust to PV Module Surfaces: Chemical and Physical Relationships at the Microscale" in the IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics (DOI: 10.1109/JPHOTOV.2016.2528409)--2016. Our co-authors are: Lawrence L. Kazmerski, Fellow, IEEE, Antônia Sônia A.C. Diniz, Member, IEEE, Cristiana Brasil Maia, Marcelo Machado Viana, Suellen C. Costa, Pedro P. Brito, Cláudio Dias Campos, Lauro V. Machado Neto, Sérgio de Morais Hanriot, and Leila R. de Oliveira Cruz, Member, IEEE. This paper provides information on the paper we presented at the 41st IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference in New Orleans. This research was sponsored by CAPES in Brasil. DOI: 10.1109/JPHOTOV.2016.2528409
Our poster was presented as part of the annual NREL Reliability Workshop in Golden, Colorado. The poster-paper is entitled "Surface Soiling and Related Reliability Studies in Brasil: Program and Progress," and the proceedings will be found on the NREL-hosted website: http://www.nrel.gov/pv/performance_reliability/pvmrw.html. A .pdf of our poster is included below--as well as a copy of the 1st Place Poster Award Certificate.
Project Papers Presented at VI Congresso Brasileiro de Energia Solar e VII Congresso Latino Americano de Energia Solar (CBENS), Belo Horizonte, Brasil (April 4-7, 2016) Three papers have been accepted for presentation and publication at this important bienniel solar energy conference in Brasil. These cover the major goal areas of the CAPES-supported project:

Paper Accepted for IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) in Portland, Oregon, June 3-10, 2016 Our continuation of the investigation of the fundamental aspects of adhesion of soiling particles to PV module surfaces, linking the chemistry of the particle surfaces with the adhesive force properties, will be highlighted.
Keynote Paper at the ISES International World Conference in Daegu, Korea L.L. Kazmerski gave the keynote paper covering issues with soiling and dust on photovoltaic modules "Dust and Soiling of Solar Devices: History, Status, and Expectations," on November 11, 2015, at this international conference. This presentation provided comparisons among the soiling issues throughout the world, from Brasil to Saudi Arabia. The paper also summarized the status of potential mitigation approaches and stressed that geographical and climate zone conditions dictated the method to minimize the impact of soiling on PV system output.
Invited Paper at the SERIIUS Workshop on PV Module Reliability in Harsh Climates, Mumbai, India, October 18-20, 2015 http://www.seriius.org/pdfs/pv-module-reliability-in-hot-climates.pdf L.L. Kazmerski gave the keynote paper covering issues with soiling and dust on photovoltaic modules "Dust and Soiling of Solar Modules in Harsh Climates: Brasil and India Comparisons".
Invited Paper at SPIE Conference in San Diego, California http://spie.org/conferences-and-exhibitions/optics-and-photonics Our project has been invited to present a paper at the SPIE Optics + Photonics Conference in San Diego, August 28-September 1, 2016. The talk will be presented under the Optics + Photonics for Sustainable Energy topic. The invited talk is entitled:
