Electrostatic Solar Panel Cleaning

It was demonstrated that the dust is removed efficiently from the panel surface.

Electrostatic solar panel cleaning.

It uses electrostatic charge to repel dust and force it to the edges of the panels. Electrostatic precipitators uses static electricity to remove the dust from the panel by applying energy only to the particular matter being collected and therefore is very efficient in its. The actual power consumption of this system is small. India to add 500 000 mw of renewable capacity june 27 2019 0.

Electrostatic solar panel cleaning will grow especially in desert areas where water is scarce it said. Electrostatic cleaning equipment has been developed to remove dust from solar panels. The solar photovoltaic panel cleaning technology can considerably increase the e ciency of electricity generated and also increase the durability of solar panels. This technology is expected to increase the efficiency of mega solar power plants constructed in deserts.

In arid areas therefore solar panels have to be cleaned frequently sometimes on a daily basis. It can remove 90 percent of the dust on a solar panel in a two minute cycle says malay mazumder a research.
