About
Dr. Marcel Nmas Grando is a leading researcher in the field of renewable energy automation, with a primary focus on the development of robotic systems for photovoltaic panel maintenance. His most-cited work, "Robots for Cleaning Photovoltaic Panels: State of the Art and Future Prospects" (2019, 31 citations), provides a comprehensive survey of automated cleaning technologies, addressing a critical bottleneck in solar energy efficiency—dust accumulation that can reduce panel output by up to 50%. This seminal review has become a foundational reference for engineers and researchers seeking to optimize solar farm operations through robotics. Dr. Grando’s contributions bridge mechanical design, control systems, and sustainable energy, offering practical solutions to enhance the economic viability of photovoltaic systems. His work is particularly notable for its forward-looking analysis of future cleaning technologies, including autonomous drones and self-cleaning surfaces. With growing global investment in solar energy, Dr. Grando’s research continues to shape the intersection of robotics and renewable energy, making him a key voice in the transition toward cleaner, more efficient power generation.
