Numerical investigation of installation and environmental parameters on soiling of roof-mounted solar photovoltaic array

A study of dust deposition on solar photovoltaics as influenced by the installation tilt angle, azimuth angle and the dust particles sizes was carried out. A 3-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation model was used with the Shear Stress Transport k-ω turbulence model being employed...
