Estimation of an Optimal PV Panel Cleaning Strategy Based on Both Annual Radiation Profile and Module Degradation

This paper addresses a methodology to optimize PV panel cleaning schedule. PV system yield is impacted due to soiling on panel surface. This soiling changes during the system operation as a consequence of environmental conditions. In order to reduce the impact of soiling accumulation, the panel surf...
