Here, an autonomous dust removal system for solar panels, powered by a wind-driven rotary electret generator is proposed. The generator applies a high voltage between one solar panel's output electrode and an upper mesh electrode to generate a strong electrostatic field.
Here, we present a waterless approach for dust removal from solar panels using electrostatic induction. We find that dust particles, despite primarily consisting of insulating silica, can be electrostatically repelled from electrodes due to charge induction assisted by adsorbed moisture.
The technology employs a non-uniform traveling field to generate charge polarization and induce electrophoretic/dielectrophoretic forces, enabling automatic dust removal from the surface of solar panels , , , , .
Solar panels often suffer from dust accumulation, significantly reducing their output, especially in desert regions where many of the world's largest solar plants are located. Here, an autonomous dust removal system for solar panels, powered by a wind-driven rotary electret generator is proposed.
Under the low wind speed of 1.6 m s −1, two DRUs for two solar panels driven by one REG and VMC have been shown to remove most dust effectively within a short time of 6.6 min.
