Increasing the Efficiency of Photovoltaic Systems by Cleaning

Abstract

Jordan is considered one of the countries that suffer from high prices of oil, gas, and coal, in addition to the high cost of these non-renewable sources. The lack of these sources has prompted scientists around the world to think about solutions to this problem. Solar energy, wind energy, or any other energy is the real shield that provides energy sources. Although renewable energy sources have solved many problems, many challenges remain, and among these challenges is the issue of the cost of such projects and whether they are efficient and reliable. In addition, these systems are greatly affected by climatic conditions, including temperature rise due to high temperatures, the accumulation of various pollutants, the accumulation of dust due to abandoned areas, the problem of humidity in some areas, and the problem of shading or even reflection. Made from the same boards. These problems encourage researchers and scientists to search for practical solutions to reduce the economic impact of the damage caused by these forcing events and increase the efficiency of these systems. In this research, we studied the impact of some factors affecting the performance of photovoltaic panels, such as dust and other pollutants coming from industrial areas, with the hope of applying these studies to Jordanian lands in the Ma’an region in southern Jordan, which is considered a desert region and has a hot climate compared to other regions of Jordan, which has a lot of dust. This paper helps clarify the difference between some of the detergents that have been used to clean photovoltaic panels, and this leads to increasing the electrical efficiency of photovoltaic panels.
