In this state, the movement speed of the dust laden droplets decreases, and small secondary droplets often separate from the trailing edge. These micro droplets, due to their small size, tend to remain on the photovoltaic glass surface, negatively affecting the thorough cleaning of dust.
Our research optimizes the self-cleaning technology of photovoltaic module. Research results are expected to further improve the cleaning efficiency and water saving advantages of the droplet cleaning method. Current research primarily focuses on the single droplet cleaning.
In addition, a volume-regulated cleaning strategy has been developed to maximize water conservation while maintaining high cleaning performance in arid environments. These findings provide actionable guidelines for designing the next generation of water-saving photovoltaic self-cleaning systems.
Accordingly, soiling requires mitigation by frequent cleaning. However, regular cleaning of PV modules can damage glass surfaces and commonly used anti-reflective coatings (ARCs), which typically enable 2–3% or even higher increases in the power output.
While conventional cleaning methods require amounts of water, the application of droplets cleaning technology on superhydrophobic surfaces offers a more sustainable solution. Our study presents an investigation into the optimization of droplet cleaning efficiency on superhydrophobic PV glass by regulating droplet volume.
The process is as follows: 1) Clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel with a neutral cleaner and rinse off any residual cleaner with water, allowing the panel to air dry naturally. 2) Apply the coating to the photovoltaic panel using a spraying machine, adjusting the speed and spraying volume as necessary.
