In this study, the effectiveness of a self-cleaning nano-coating thin film is evaluated in reducing dust accumulation and improving PV Panel efficiency.
A study was conducted using three techniques for PV panel cleaning to measure the effectiveness: nano-coating, nano-coating with a mechanical vibrator, and no coating (natural cleaning). Results show that the most effective technique was nano-coating the PV panel surface and using a mechanical vibrator .
The efficiency and power output of photovoltaic (PV) panels are vital to the solar PV plant. Apart from overheating, and natural shading, some geographical locations are more susceptible to objectionable dust accumulation on the surfaces of PV panels.
In both the \ (\:I-V\) and \ (\:P-V\) curves, it is observed that there is a sudden decline in the values of the current and power of the uncoated panel indicating the detrimental impact of the dust shading effect on PV panel performance.
The TOPSIS method is employed to compare the cleaning techniques and rank them from most favored to least favored. Manual cleaning of the PV panels is the highest ranked cleaning technique according to the TOPSIS ranking. The efficiency and power output of photovoltaic (PV) panels are vital to the solar PV plant.
