Electrostatic Cleaning Of Solar Panels

The various cleaning methods such as electrostatic cleaning system super hyperbolic coating methods mechanical method microcontroller based automatic cleaning method.

Electrostatic cleaning of solar panels.

It uses electrostatic charge to repel dust and force it to the edges of the panels. An improved cleaning system has been developed that uses electrostatic force to remove sand from the surface of solar panels. Dust can reduce the output of a solar panels. Large scale photovoltaic pv power generation plants also known as mega and giga solar power plants.

This technology is expected to increase the efficiency of mega solar power plants in deserts. The power consumption of this system is virtually zero. More than 90 of the adhering sand is repelled from the surface of the slightly inclined panel. Electrostatic cleaning equipment for dust removal from soiled solar panels 1.

A single phase high voltage is applied to parallel wire electrodes. The configuration of the proposed electrostatic cleaning system is shown in. In arid areas therefore sol. It can remove 90 percent of the dust on a solar panel in a two minute cycle says malay mazumder a research.
