Impact of Weather Conditions on the Performance of Highly Mounted PV Panels | Chapter 3 | Research Highlights in Science and Technology Vol. 7

 This phase highlights about the weather environments of using this new alleviation technique on the adeptness of the PV panel in both seasons. Solar PV modules are unprotected to outdoor atmospheres where dust growth is a prime degrading determinant. Soiling and its effect on accomplishment of solar modules are mainly of high concern for domains with a high dethroning of dust and low frequency and less force of rain.  In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), dust buildup on photovoltaic (PV) panels poses a weighty hazard and reduces their effectiveness. Due to restricted water supplies and extreme rates of dust collection during the whole of the year, cleaning PV panels has continually been troublesome in the majority of these nations. A new dust mitigation method has been grown in this research, that consists of a wind shield, antistatic hydrophilic covering and a mechanical vibrator. The objective of this research search out study the weather conditions on the conduct of this new dust alleviation technique for PV panels that use street light posts. Two experiments were administered for six weeks in 2021; the first one was in cold while the other individual was in summer. Two PV panels were investigated in each tests. The second committee is equipped accompanying a mechanical vibrator, a wind screen, and an antistatic hydrophilic covering in addition to comprise a comparison committee for the first PV panel. The wind shield's purpose search out prevent the wind from the south from tumbling. The antistatic coating halts the dust particles from obeying to the panel's surface. The duty of the mechanical vibrator search out shake off the located dust particles on the committee’s surface. The experimental results show that applying the antistatic covering together with the wind shield accompanying vibrating the committee in case of the cold experiment preserved the effectiveness of the panel, specific that the drop in adeptness did not exceed the perpetuation limit of 10% during the experiment. It was proved that the percentage visit efficiency for fear that of the shielded committee in the winter experiment acted not exceed 10% during the 6 weeks of movement, and this duration be necessary to increase to a longer ending i.e. 8 weeks. While, the allotment drop in adeptness in case of the protected panel in the summertime experiment exceeded the 10% in the 5th week. Study alos shows unequivocally that the wind screen, machinelike vibrator, and coating are an persuasive dust mitigation method for PV panels running light posts, particularly in the cold.
