Customer ServiceTo remove snow from solar panels, a mechanical method called vibration can be used (Efron et al., 2012). For snow that has frozen on the surface of the PV panel, a large strain of the panel surface is required to break the adhesion.
We found that the snow layer was gradually soaked with melting water, which flowed down and ran off in the lower part of the PV module at a slow rate. However, the fluctuant current caused the PV module to provide intermittent heat flux to the snow layer, and the fast wind speeds increased convective heat dissipation from the snow to the air.
To activate this electrostatic system to generate an electromagnetic field on the surface of the PV module, a three-phase AC voltage between 750 and 1250 VAC with the frequency range between 4 and 20 Hz is connected with the electrodes, which repels the dust particles because of the electrostatic reaction.
The meltwater is retained in the snow layer by capillary action, and the thickness of the wet snow layer gradually increases. During this phase, the mass of liquid water in the snow also increases and part of the meltwater flows away from the bottom of the PV module, resulting in a reduction in the overall snow mass.
In this study, four different mechanisms of snow removal from PV modules were identified: melting, shedding, prolonged melting, and melting followed by shedding (Fig. 2). Here, snow shedding is defined as a relatively fast process of snow sliding from the PV modules.
The reverse current in S1 was between 7.5 ∼ 8.78 A with the direct solar radiation gradually increasing to more than 900 W/m 2. Due to the tilt angle of the PV modules, the melted water flowed to the bottom of the module, making the wet snow layer of the bottom part thicker than that of the upper part.
