Abstract

The paper presents analysis of impact of dust on photovoltaic solar panel located at CSIR, Bhavnagar city, Gujarat, India. Proposed work is used to analyze the losses due to accumulation of dust on the surface of photovoltaic panel. Due to dust, radiation changes have been observed using the array tester system (SAT 100V 30A). The accumulation of the dust on the surface of polycrystalline PV panel shows reduction in power generation compared to clean module. It is observed that 8–10% decrement has been noticed in the given constraints and efficiency has been reduced by 5–10%. Result analysis has been discussed in detail with MATLAB/SIMULINK-based environment as well as practical setup at research laboratory for the different time duration.
