The best way to mitigate the effect of temperature is to cool the PV panel either by active water cooling or thermoelectric cooling coupled with natural ventilation. The soiling effect can be reduced by facilitating self-cleaning surfaces or cleaning surfaces with water.
Scientific Reports 15, Article number: 1582 (2025) Cite this article Optimizing the installation parameters of photovoltaic panels in a photovoltaic array to reduce dust accumulation, thereby enhancing their power generation, is a crucial research topic in the construction of solar power stations in desert regions.
The reflection of sunlight and dust accumulation over photovoltaic panels significantly decreases its efficacy. Currently, robotic and manual cleaning solutions are widely used to remove soiling from solar panels, which may cause damage to PV panels. Self-cleaning of PV panels can be achieved by making the surface either hydrophobic or hydrophilic.
Consequently, the wind speed across each panel surface increases, making it more challenging for larger particles to deposit. These experimental results clearly demonstrate the spatial differences in dust characteristics across the surface areas of each panel within the PV array from various angles.
