The reduction in solar efficiency due to dust on PV panel is approximately 40%. In this context, various PV system cleaning methods are adopted currently (Kumar and Chaurasia 2014). The analysis under this category of the environmental effects is the most frequent and problematic one as compared to others.
Dust 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.
Dust is one of the essential parameters that affect PV panel performance, yield, and profitability. However, the dust characteristics (type, size, shape, meteorology, etc.) is geographical site specified. Many researchers investigated PV panel dust cleaning and mitigation methods.
The characteristics of the accumulated dust (type, size, shape, meteorology, etc.) are determined by its geographical source, and its effect is not only to reduce the solar radiation reaching the surface of the PV, but also to adhere to these surfaces and scratched and work on corrosion and reduce their life span.
The results of the study showed that by increasing the electrical voltage, the amount of dust removed increased. Ref. (M., 2011) studied the effect of the use of the electrical dynamics system to remove dust from PV was investigated with the study of the effect of the mass of dust accumulated on the surface.
The data in Table 3 for rice husk indicate that a uniform layer of 5 g dust accumulation on solar PV module can reduce its power up to 20%, and at a dust accumulation of 50 g on PV module, the power is reduced approximately 70%.
