Performance Analysis of Automatic Cleaning System for Solar PV Modules

摘要

An experimental setup for automatic cleaning of dust fouling on photovoltaic (PV) system is designed. Comprehensive observations are carried out for numerous types of tracking and cleaning conditions for the extensive comparative study. In this context, the performance of the designed system is compared with stationary, sun tracking, and tracking with cleaning conditions in terms of open-circuit voltage, current, and power. The obtained results are carried out to evaluate the designed system performance for solar PV modules and/or array in tracking and cleaning conditions simultaneously, which are found satisfactorily and soupier. So, the present study is very helpful for the enhancement of the PV module efficiency and can be recommended to extract the maximum electrical energy from PV module in domestics as well as commercial applications.
