Solar energy is mostly harnessed in arid areas where a high concentration of atmospheric dust represents a major environmental degradation factor. Gravitationally settled particles and other solid particles on the surface
In addition, the structural design of PV panels can affect the accumulation of dust and the potential degradation in performance, it was found that frameless PV panels experience uniform distribution of dust, while the distribution of dust in
In Fig. 8, we can determine two samples of CleanPV and DirtyPV after the classification of the solar panel dust detection model in CNN. In our future work, we will work with different PV
This study provides a comprehensive review of 278 articles focused on the impact of dust on PV panels'' performance along with other associated environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
However, the dust characteristics (type, size, shape, meteorology, etc.) is geographical site specified. Many researchers investigated PV panel dust cleaning and mitigation methods. This
