Due to accumulation of dust particles on the surface of solar PV systems, and output power is reduced to a large extent. It is concluded that a small layer of dust itself reduces PV system efficiency to a large extent. The minimum power value of 3.88 W is obtained during the accumulation of rice husk on the solar PV module.
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.
However, there comes a point where the rate of deposition starts to decrease. When dust accumulates on the PV modules' surface, it creates a thin layer decreasing the amount of sunlight received by panels. This leads to a significant decline in both the electrical and optical performance of the PV module.
It was illustrated that the efficiency of mono-crystalline Photovoltaic panels decreases by approximately 10% following 100 days of dust accumulation of the PV module surface (Fathi et al., 2017a).
The impact of dust accumulation on the thermal performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems primarily manifests in the alteration of PV module temperature.
After temperature and solar radiation, dust deposition is the most substantial factor that can regulate the efficiency of a PV module. This effect of dust depended highly on geographical location and local conditions.
