However, dust accumulation can have a very serious impact on the performance of Photovoltaic (PV) systems. Here, we investigated the dust and its influence on solar modules, both polycrystalline and monocrystalline. The specified site had four horizontally oriented 80 W PV modules.
ML, particularly deep learning, has emerged as a promising approach for detecting and mitigating dust accumulation on solar PV modules. Dust deposition on PV panels significantly reduces energy yield, causing power losses of up to 57% depending on dust type, particle size, and environmental conditions.
Among these, dust is a prominent factor that substantially reduces panel efficiency and power output as the mass of dust deposition increases . This reduction in efficiency is primarily due to the obstruction of solar irradiance reaching the PV cells, leading to decreased photon absorption and subsequent power generation [5, 6].
