Impact of Dust Deposition on Photovoltaic Systems and
Dust accumulation on photovoltaic (PV) modules is a major factor contributing to reduced power output, lower efficiency, and accelerated material degradation, particularly in arid and
This study underscored the significant impact of dust accumulation on the performance of PV modules in a desert environment. Through a detailed analysis of the PV modules installed at various angles in Jeddah City, the study identified the optimal tilt to maximize power output under various environmental conditions.
Scientific Reports 15, Article number: 1582 (2025) Cite this article 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 the construction of solar power stations in desert regions.
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.
