Utilizing solar energy to generate electricity on large scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants became a trend as a new option adopted by many countries. The optimum installation of PV power plants depends on th. ••A comprehensive review of dust problems and PV cleaning methods is. Today, energy plays a key role in the development and progress of societies. Most of the energy is produced from fossil sources such as coal, oil and natural gas, which will inevita. Dust is a term that is referred to materials suspended and spread by air such as soil particles (which form the bulk of suspended dust in the air), smoke from the plant, kitchens, cars, el. PV are installed outdoors and exposed to all the environmental factors. These variables differ from one region to another and may sometimes reach a severe degree (acid rain, polluti. Based on the above discussion, Fig. 19 demonstrates a suggested methodology that can be followed through research studies to determine an appropriate cleaning method.
