6 FAQs about [What to do with the sand on the photovoltaic panels in the desert]

Do photovoltaic modules accumulate sand and dust?

Dida et al. examined the accumulation of sand and dust on photovoltaic (PV) modules in a Sahara desert environment through experimental methods. After eight weeks of exposure, the modules amassed approximately 4.36 g/m 2 of sand and dust.

Why should photovoltaic power stations be established in desertification areas?

The establishment of photovoltaic power stations in desertification areas can play a very important role in desert windbreaks and sand fixation as well as improve the ecological environment. The realization of the effective integration of photovoltaics and deserts can have multiple benefits for the economy, society, and ecology.

How does sand erosion affect photovoltaic power generation?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Photovoltaic power generation is one of the most effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the surface of photovoltaic modules in desert areas is mainly affected by sand erosion and cover, which affect power output.

Does photovoltaic industry affect sand prevention and control?

In recent years, the photovoltaic industry in desert and Gobi has developed rapidly. In order to reveal the effect of photovoltaic industry on sand prevention and control, this study was performed by taking GuLang Zhenfa photovoltaic DC field on the southern edge of Tengger Desert as an example.

Does sand and dust affect PV module output power?

Wu et al. measured the PV modules’ output power in the Dali region before and after dust accumulation. Between January and May, without rainfall interference, the decrease in PV module output power attributable to sand and dust was consistent, resulting in an 11.4–13.3% reduction in power generation efficiency.

Can a waterless cleaning method remove dust from solar panels?

Dust that accumulates on solar panels is a major problem, but washing the panels uses huge amounts of water. MIT engineers have now developed a waterless cleaning method to remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency. Image courtesy of the researchers.
