The impact of dust accumulation on the thermal performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems primarily manifests in the alteration of PV module temperature.
The cleaning methods of photovoltaic modules include manual dust removal, mechanical dust removal, electrostatic dust removal, self-cleaning coating and so on. In general, the self-cleaning coating has better performance in dust removal. It requires no power or manpower, relying on its own characteristics.
The best materials for preventing dust from accumulating on photovoltaic include waterproof coatings, hydrophobic coatings, and anti-static coatings. These materials work to either repel dust away from the solar modules or create a barrier that traps dust before it can reach the modules.
Install a ventilation system: Installing a ventilation system can help reduce accumulation of dust on the PV. The system can help circulate air around the module, which can help keep dust and dirt particles away. Reference (Barber and Udo 2008) examined the performance implications of dust on PV modules.
When the weight measured exceeds a threshold, the Arduino controller commands the electrostatic precipitator to clean the dust. Regular intervals of cleaning ensure a dust-free panel, enhancing the efficiency of the PV panels in utilizing solar energy. Marquez et al. developed a novel monitoring system for detecting dust on PV panel surfaces.
Ultimately, a detailed strategy for dust prevention in PV panels is proposed, involving real-time monitoring, assessment of dust deposition, mathematical modeling for predicting performance losses, and informed decision-making regarding optimal cleaning measures to enhance panel efficiency. 2.
