Condensation water on the back of photovoltaic panels
Effect of condensation on PV panel performance. Another major setback under desert environment is the high possibility of moisture condensation on the surfaces of the PV modules. Due to radiation heat exchange between the PV surface and the cold nocturnal sky, the PV surface temperature drops to lower than the ambient dew point temperature.

However, dust agglomeration on the surface of photovoltaic panels causes damage and impedes their ability to efficiently turn sunlight into electricity. Because condensation is a driving force in dust aggregation, Hu et al. investigated the dust agglomeration process during condensation.
This study investigates experimentally the impact of droplets on the performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells due to dropwise condensation or rain falling on their cover. Dew formation occurs frequently in various climates.
The atmospheric water harvester photovoltaic cooling system provides an average cooling power of 295 W m–2 and lowers the temperature of a photovoltaic panel by at least 10 °C under 1.0 kW.
The AWGPV panel, short for Atmospheric Water Generation on PV panel, is specifically designed to facilitate water condensation and is intended for nighttime operation. The process of condensation occurs when the surface temperature of an object (i.e PV module surface) is equal to or lower than the dew point temperature of the surrounding air .
