Electrostatic Cleaning Of Solar Panels

It uses electrostatic charge to repel dust and force it to the edges of the panels.

Electrostatic cleaning of solar panels. The configuration of the proposed electrostatic cleaning system is shown in. It can remove 90 percent of the dust on a solar panel in a two minute cycle says malay mazumder a research. Electrostatic cleaning equipment for dust removal from soiled solar panels 1. An electrostatic cleaning system has been developed to remove sand from solar panels.

The solar photovoltaic panel cleaning technology can considerably increase the e ciency of electricity generated and also increase the durability of solar panels. More than 90 of the adhering sand is repelled from the surface of the slightly inclined panel. The power consumption of this system is virtually zero. The various cleaning methods such as electrostatic cleaning system super hyperbolic coating methods mechanical method microcontroller based automatic cleaning method.

Dust can reduce the output of a solar panels. In arid areas therefore sol. A single phase high voltage is applied to parallel wire electrodes. Large scale photovoltaic pv power generation plants also known as mega and giga solar power plants.
