Yes, dust can indeed affect solar panels. Dust particles can accumulate on the surface of solar panels and obstruct sunlight, thereby reducing the panels' efficiency and energy output.
Air dust has many effects on PV panels, such as the degradation of sunlight that reaches the seeming of the panels, and reduction of the solar radiation transmission to the PV panels (Landis, 1997).
Dust accumulation on PV cells, and consequently the work of the solar PV system, is greatly influenced by the geographic location and climatic conditions of where the PV panels are mounted; the areas with the most dust accumulation in the world are the Middle East and North Africa (Ghazi et al., 2014).
Abstract—Accumulation of dust from the outdoor environment on the panels of solar photovoltaic (PV) system is natural. There were studies that showed that the accumulated dust can reduce the performance of solar panels, but the results were not clearly quantified.
The productivity of solar PV panels deteriorates by the deposition of dust on front surfaces (Al-chaderchi et al., 2017).
Semi-automated cleaning system Semi-automated cleaning is among the modern era methods towards cleaning high dust concentration on PV solar panels. It is promising technique by wiping or compressed air flow to remove the dust deposition and prevent the degradation of micro-scratches on the PV glass surfaces.
The impact of dust on the solar PV module varies based on the soft, partial, and complete (soiling) shading. The solar PV module's performance depends on the PM 10 concentration, dust loading (mgm −2), and fine dust particle concentration around the globe.
