Customer ServiceDust 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.
Environmental factors such as wind speed, humidity and rain also influence how quickly dust accumulates. In terms of solar panel installation factors, the angle of the panels plays a key role. Flat panels tend to accumulate more dust due to a lack of natural ‘cleaning’ from wind and rain.
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.
Dust 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).
Kazem et al. (2014b) studied experimentally the effect of 3 different types of dust (sand, ash, and red soil) on the performance of PV panels (monocrystalline, multicrystalline, and Amorphous-Silicon). The results indicated that carbonaceous fly-ash has the largest effect compared to the other two types of dust.
Dust is deposited in various patterns on the glass surface of the photovoltaic module, affected by the type of coating or whether it is an exposed surface. Dust is deposited on the bare surface of the solar panel with a size of more than 30 µm, while when coating this surface, the accumulated dust size does not exceed 10 µm.
