M. Ryyan Khan works on solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, focusing on how real-world conditions like temperature, humidity, dust ('soiling'), and panel orientation affect how much electricity solar panels produce and how long they last. His work covers technologies including bifacial panels (which capture light on both sides), floating solar farms, and combining solar panels with agriculture (agrivoltaics), often using modeling combined with field experiments in South Asian contexts.
