Electrostatic Solar Panel Cleaning

Electrostatic solar panel cleaning will grow especially in desert areas where water is scarce it said.

Electrostatic solar panel cleaning.

In arid areas therefore solar panels have to be cleaned frequently sometimes on a daily basis. India to add 500 000 mw of renewable capacity june 27 2019 0. It uses electrostatic charge to repel dust and force it to the edges of the panels. It was demonstrated that the dust is removed efficiently from the panel surface.

This technology is expected to increase the efficiency of mega solar power plants constructed in deserts. Electrostatic precipitators uses static electricity to remove the dust from the panel by applying energy only to the particular matter being collected and therefore is very efficient in its. It can remove 90 percent of the dust on a solar panel in a two minute cycle says malay mazumder a research. The various cleaning methods such as electrostatic cleaning system super hyperbolic coating methods mechanical method microcontroller based automatic cleaning method.

The actual power consumption of this system is small. The solar photovoltaic panel cleaning technology can considerably increase the e ciency of electricity generated and also increase the durability of solar panels.
