Dust accumulation on solar panels is a mjor operational challenge faced by the photovoltaic industry. Removing dust using water-based cleaning is expensive and unsustainable. Dust repulsion via charge induction is an efficient way to clean solar panels and recover power output without consuming any water.
The main method of dust removal is manual or machine cleaning with water, but these methods have high costs and low cleaning efficiency [1, 21, 31]. It is worth noting that an improper cleaning process can cause mechanical and corrosive damage to photovoltaic modules. In areas where water is scarce, only mechanical methods can be used [79, 80].
Alternate effective cleaning methods can therefore significantly transform the photovoltaic solar power industry. Electrostatic dust removal has the potential to eliminate the water footprint and contact scrubbing damage associated with solar panel cleaning. There are mainly two types of techniques for electrostatic dust removal systems.
However, the dust characteristics (type, size, shape, meteorology, etc.) is geographical site specified. Many researchers investigated PV panel dust cleaning and mitigation methods. This paper put into perspective the recent investigations of dust impact on PV systems and decent cleaning methods.
