Cleaning carbon deposits on photovoltaic panels in Inner Mongolia

Which cleaning technique is best for solar PV panels?

The TOPSIS method is employed to compare the cleaning techniques and rank them from most favored to least favored. Manual cleaning of the PV panels is the highest ranked cleaning technique according to the TOPSIS ranking. The efficiency and power output of photovoltaic (PV) panels are vital to the solar PV plant.

How to improve the energy supply of a PV panel?

Clean energy supply can further increase depending on the type of cleaning technique chosen. Automatic cleaning, in particular sprinklers, can be frequently utilized to clean the PV panel, restoring the full efficiency of the PV panel and producing more clean energy.

Why is dust accumulating on PV panels important?

The efficiency and power output of photovoltaic (PV) panels are vital to the solar PV plant. Apart from overheating, and natural shading, some geographical locations are more susceptible to objectionable dust accumulation on the surfaces of PV panels.

What happens after a PV panel is cleaned?

After cleaning the PV panel, the PV panel will restore its full efficiency and will produce clean energy that can then be distributed (SDG 7). On the other hand, using natural resources to clean PV panels will limit economic growth (SDG 8).

Can photovoltaic development be integrated with traditional sand control methods?

This initiative allows for the integration of photovoltaic development with traditional sand control methods in regions like Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi and Qinghai.

Why is automatic cleaning important for PV panels?

Automatic cleaning, in particular sprinklers, can be frequently utilized to clean the PV panel, restoring the full efficiency of the PV panel and producing more clean energy. Thus, automatic cleaning has a positive association with the production of clean energy (SDG 7).
