Customer ServiceDust accumulation on PV cells, and consequently the work of the solar PV system, is greatly influenced by the geographic location and climatic conditions of where the PV panels are mounted; the areas with the most dust accumulation in the world are the Middle East and North Africa (Ghazi et al., 2014).
Air dust has many effects on PV panels, such as the degradation of sunlight that reaches the seeming of the panels, and reduction of the solar radiation transmission to the PV panels (Landis, 1997).
The power MPP of the PV module decreases, as the irradiance decreases on the PV module surface. The V oc of the PV module decreases, as the temperature of the PV cell increases. The impact of dust on the solar PV module varies based on the soft, partial, and complete (soiling) shading.
An experimental study carried out in south-eastern Iran by Abdolzadeh et al. has shown that the direction of the wind and the direction of the PV panels, which experience the highest levels of dust deposition, coincide during most months of the year.
It involved a weight sensor placed beneath the panel, continuously monitoring the dust's weight. 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.
The transmittance and the short circuit current of the solar PV module reduce by the accumulation of dust on the surface. The amount of reduction of the transmittance and short circuit current depends on the PM 10 concentration, dust loading (mgm −2), fine dust particle concentration, and tilt angle.
