Solar power generation system is one of the best inventions of the present century which not only saves electricity but is also environment friendly.
Due to the solar panels being installed in the open air on the roofs of the house, it is a normal and necessary thing to collect dust on them.
A new study conducted in this regard has proved that the performance of solar panels can be adversely affected by the accumulation of dust and soil.
In a report based on the results of research conducted in different areas of Pakistan, PV Magazine stated that dust accumulation has serious adverse effects on both the lifespan and performance of solar panels.
In this study, scientists evaluated the performance of two PV systems consisting of 40 panels in different cities of the country. Researchers from different countries also tested the performance of solar panels in different environments.
He said that the performance of solar panels in a dirty environment becomes very bad, while in a clean environment, due to very little dust, the performance of solar panels is very good.
According to researchers, the environment in Islamabad is very clean, with an average temperature of 20.3 degrees Celsius. Even in the driest months it rains to clean the PV modules. Electricity generation from solar panels in Islamabad was significantly higher.
Bahawalpur is a desert region where the weather is dry and rainfall is low, dust storms are frequent. Due to freezing around there, the performance of solar panels was very poor.
