Abstract |
|
Soiling is the accumulation of dust on solar panels that causes a decrease in the solar photovoltaic (PV) system’s efficiency. The abstract is to show and quantify the soiling losses in a Solar PV Module which affects the generation efficiency. Installation of Solar Rooftop PV System are gaining momentum and its high time we realize how inefficient our PV system if it is not maintained properly. This abstract gives a quantified data of how much losses happen in PV modules due to soiling studied for a month by comparing the difference in generation between cleaned and uncleaned solar modules in a metropolitan city like Bangalore (The study was conducted on the four different types of module technologies installed in a single rooftop of Infosys MNC Building, Bangalore for a period of one month). |
