Dust is an important well known ecological factor that significantly impacts the performance of solar panels in achieving the overall target of power production by renewable sources. Study about the performance of solar panels under the influence of dust particles becomes more effective when these are to be worked out in hot and dusty areas.
Solar PV cleaning technique aims to boost the energy yield of the system and its performance. In this article, promising dust cleaning techniques based on performance parameters across varied climatic conditions and environmental factors are investigated.
Therefore, several of fouling cleaning techniques are currently used to remove dust from solar panel surfaces as shown in Fig. 4. These include traditional cleaning methods, new coating techniques and robotic cleaning mechanisms, electrostatic techniques, and air-blast cleaning techniques (Deb and Brahmbhatt, 2018).
Dust that accumulates on solar panels is a major problem, but washing the panels uses huge amounts of water. MIT engineers have now developed a waterless cleaning method to remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency. Image courtesy of the researchers.
The results of the study showed that an increase in the efficiency of the studied PV up to 15%. Ref (Moreno et al., 2006). used a low-mass mechanical dust mop technique and found that this dust removal technology improved PV efficiency by 7%.
It also looks at different cleaning methods that can be used to improve energy yield in various environmental conditions. The study assesses how dust collection affects solar PV system performance and emphasizes the necessity of using the best cleaning methods possible to preserve high energy yields.
