"Design, Development and Experiment Analysis of Solar Panel Cleaning Sy" by Laurence Gerry John, Goh Thing Thing et al.
As the world moves towards a greener future, adoption of renewable energy sources has become very popular and solar power has become one of the most desirable sources of energy. The performance and efficiency of solar panel modules are very much affected by environmental parameters such as temperature, irradiance and dust. Many studies found that the accumulation of dust on the surface of solar panels has seriously reduced the output power of a solar panel. Dust that has accumulated on the panels may reflect or refract the photons thus preventing them from reaching the surface of the panel. Th...
