Dust deposition characteristics on photovoltaic arrays
Optimizing the installation parameters of photovoltaic panels in a photovoltaic array to reduce dust accumulation, thereby enhancing their power generation, is a crucial research topic in
Notably, the particle size distribution of dust accumulation on the first panel is relatively concentrated, followed by PV2 and PV3, whereas PV4 demonstrates a more dispersed distribution. Additionally, at an installation height of 0.3 m, the particle sizes on all four photovoltaic panels are larger compared to those at other heights.
