Power Loss Due To Soiling On Solar Panel A Review

Soiling losses refer to loss in power resulting from snow dirt dust and other particles that cover the surface of the pv module.

Power loss due to soiling on solar panel a review.

Electrical characteristics of pv voltage. Damage to the panels. Electrical characteristics of pv voltage and current are discussed with respect to shading due to soiling. However the environment is one of the contributing parameters which directly affect the photovoltaic performance.

The combined result of this decrease in the current and voltage will be reduced power output of the panel. Hard soiling due to deposition of dust particles and soil will also result in hard depositions on the panel near its frame often called as cementing. The authors review and evaluate key contributions to the understanding performance effects and mitigation of power loss due to soiling on a solar panel. Electrical characteristics of pv voltage and current are discussed with respect to shading due to soiling.

Dust is a thin layer that covers the surface of the solar array and the typical dust particles are less than 10 µm in diameter but this depends on the location and its environment.
