• Avoiding snow and ice accretion on building integrated photovoltaics - challenges, strategies, and opportunities 

      Borrebæk, Per-Olof; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      As building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are becoming increasingly popular, the demand for optimized utilization will be increasing with respect to efficiency, aesthetics and reliability. In cold climate regions, we ...
    • A framework for classification of snow- and icephobicity 

      Borrebæk, Per-Olof; Rønneberg, Sigrid; Jelle, Bjørn Petter; Klein-Paste, Alex; Zhang, Zhiliang; He, Jianying (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      For decades, there has been no proper thermodynamic definition of icephobicity. Some claim icephobic properties at an adhesion lower than 100 kPa, whereas others claim it when the accretion of ice is significantly prolonged. ...
