Fig. 1. Dust accumulation on PV panels. Dust is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the level of a windstorm suddenly increases. This phenomenon results in a sharp difference in the atmospheric pressure system for both summer and winter (Usov, 1991). The intensity of the dust increases as wind speed increases and the sun’s surface warms.
However, to the best of authors’ knowledge, there is no article written with an integrated survey on dust impacts, analysis, mathematical modeling, and possible cleaning mechanisms for dust deposition. The main objective of this work was to pinpoint the fields of possible development in dust accumulation and aggregation of PV panels.
The model's effectiveness is confirmed through outdoor experiments. Our proposed model achieves an impressive MAE of 1.4 compared to existing models. Dust accumulation substantially impacts the efficiency and thermal behavior of photovoltaic (PV) modules.
The soiling effect is now recognized as a threat that greatly affects the solar PV efficiency, and cleaning of the PV panels should not be ignored, as it leads to a significant reduction in power and efficiency. Dust accumulation is a continuous challenge for solar PV panels, particularly in desert areas.
The degradation of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules is caused by a number of factors that have an impact on their effectiveness, performance, and lifetime. One of the reasons contributing to the decline in solar PV performance is the aging issue.
