Soiling Effect and Remedial Measures of Solar Photovoltaic System Performance in Kuwait

The Gulf Cooperation Countries have the advantages of fundamental characteristics and abundant natural resources due to high proportion solar radiation, which helps expand transition renewable energy, especially in projects. Kuwait location was chosen for this research because its dust levels average daily sunshine 9.4 hours. soiling map then created using PVsyst software. A theoretical mathematical model 100 MW developed based on many environmental technical parameters. run with parameters PV power plant capacity. results show that more than 25% total generated electricity could be lost annually without any mitigation strategy. Furthermore, efficiency loss increase by around 50% during seasons sandstorms rates. Additionally, manual automatic cleaning methods were found energy production from 112,092 MWh 207,300 MWh. Moreover, reduced costs 4.9%, but automated resulted a 17.34% higher energy-saving cost system cleaning. In addition, when system, system’s payback period 9.22 7.86 years. Therefore, an is recommended use Kuwait.
