Part 1. Solar Panel History

The history of Solar panels takes it beginning from the 7th Century B.C. Now, the energy sector of economy has the greatest impact on our lives. Power supply is the basis of the normal functioning of any production, and, consequently, the entire human civilization. Heat and light homes, work machines and units in production, traffic and rural suffering - all these many faces of Energy. Various technological advances have already become part of life for us, but they are possible only when adequate and affordable energy supply, due to the development of alternative energy sources, ...

Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are one of the next generation’s renewable energy sources for our world energy demand. PV modules are highly reliable. However, in polluted environments, over time, they will collect grime and dust. There are also limited field data studies about soiling losses on PV modules. The study showed how important it is to investigate the effect of tilt angle on soiling.

The study includes two sets of mini-modules. Each set has 9 PV modules tilted at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 23, 30, 33 and 40o. The first set called "Cleaned" was cleaned every other day. ...
