The review analyzes 30 recent studies, which provide insight into performance degradation by dust, as well as the search for solutions that mitigate this effect. . How to detect surface dust on solar photovoltaic panels? At present, the main methods for detecting surface dust on solar photovoltaic panels include object detection, image segmentation and instance segmentation, super-resolution image generation, multispectral and thermal infrared imaging, and. . Accumulation of dust on PV panels is a big challenge, especially in dry and semi-arid environments like Morocco, where the number of dust particles in the atmosphere diminishes the efficiency of solar panels severely. However, it is still challenging to remove particles of ≈30 µm and smaller because Van der Waals force of adhesion dominates electrostatic force of repulsion.

Laser edge deletion is a precise, non-contact technology used in thin-film solar panel manufacturing to remove conductive coatings from the edges of glass panels. This process prevents short circuits, enhances durability, and prepares panels for hermetic sealing by creating a clean. . Dust accumulation on solar panels is a mjor operational challenge faced by the photovoltaic industry. Removing dust using water-based cleaning is expensive and unsustainable. Dust repulsion via charge induction is an efficient way to clean solar panels and recover power output without consuming any. . This thesis presents a novel, non-contact electrostatic dust removal system designed for the efficient cleaning of dust-covered surfaces, especially photovoltaic (PV) panels in arid and semi- arid regions.
