The change of the I/V characteristics as a result of dust accumulation was related to the amount of dust accumulated per unit area of the collector surface (g/m 2). It has been shown that the major reductions in the short-circuit current, cell temperature and the efficiency occur as the dust starts to deposit onto the collector surface, but the rate of decrease is slower for dust accumulations

Recent studies have suggested that PV cleaning systems are the most effective method for reducing dust accumulation, as they can reach more areas of the module and are more efficient than manual and forced air cleaning. Finally, several studies have reported trends in dust-related losses in PV modules.
Dust accumulation on PV systems presents a notable challenge for the solar industry. Dust can reduce the PV efficiency, leading to decreased electricity generation and an overall decrease in performance. Fortunately, there are a number of materials that can be used to prevent dust from accumulating on PV modules.
In a study by Faes et al., an electrostatic cleaning technique was applied to a solar PV system in Saudi Arabia for a 458-day experiment to measure dust accumulation reduction. The electrodynamic screen technique was used as a reference module.
Moreover, the study revealed that the monthly average dust accumulation on the modules was 0.2 g/m 2, and the average performance loss per 1 g/m 2 of dust accumulation was estimated to be 0.4%. These findings could be valuable for guiding future research and facilitating the development of effective dust cleaning methods for PV modules.
Wind-blown dust had the greatest effect, reducing the efficiency of the PV cells by up to 44%. Sand-blasted dust and abrasive-blasted dust had a lesser effect, with decreases of up to 29% and 8%, respectively. The study also found that dust type and thickness were the main factors influencing PV performance.
The research conducted for dust impact on PV and cleaning methods in the few decades has been reviewed and discussed. Many methods have been used manually, automatic, electrostatics, with or without water to clean dust and improve PV power productivity and efficiency.
