Experimental investigations for dust build-up on low-iron glass exterior and its effects on the performance of solar PV systems

The performance of solar photovoltaic (SPV) power plants is adversely affected by soiling losses caused natural dust deposition on the module surface. size and density particles vary depending location. Thus, it essential to investigate impact collection SPV performance. This work investigates effect build-up low-iron glass surface modules. To analyze characteristics these particles, samples have been chosen, which resemble a front module. study holistic pattern accumulation particular area, placed with three different positions like vertical, horizontal, local tilt angle for Building Integrated Photovoltaic Systems (BIPV) rooftop PV plant applications. mineralogical provides insight in determining transmittance loss from modules due loss. Furthermore, electrical output has monitored at various levels accumulation. Moreover, findings indicate that selected site locations significantly reduces energy generation
