“…Their pigmented cells range from 0.5 to 10 mm in size and thus are especially effective in reducing the intensity of solar irradiation reaching the cells. It has been shown that sub-aerial biofilms growing on solar panels and other substrates can block up to 70% of the transmission of incident radiation between 250 nm and 1800 nm (Noack-Sch€ onmann et al, 2014).…”

“…Glass solar panels have been shown to produce microbial biofilms within a few years in Europe (Noack-Sch€ onmann et al, 2014), but there is no information on colonization in tropical environments, where the process may be expected to be more rapid.…”

“…They are extremotolerant and can grow on bare-rock surfaces. In addition to the Woods Hole marine environment, K. petricola has been found on rocks in extreme conditions from the Antarctic to dry deserts [61,62] and as part of lichens [63]. This organism produces nearly spherical buds ( Figure 4A).…”

“…Some of them look on the material of the cells to get better efficiency [18], [19] or how to enhance inverters [20]. Others, study the influence of the dirtiness over the efficiency [21], [22], even the affection of the biological agents [23], and of course there are several studies about the degradation of the solar panels [24], [25].…”
