One of the principal features of PV power degradation is dust settlement over the PV panel surface, which significantly impacts energy output over an extended period of utilization and damages the panel''s film, resulting in reduced output and a shortened lifetime .
Solar panels are a popular and efficient way to harness the power of the sun and generate clean energy. However, over time, debris can accumulate on the surface of solar panels and hinder their performance. Let''s explore the different types of debris that commonly affect solar panel performance and the impact they can have on energy production.

Nonetheless, a shaded panel on a string, will not affect the power output of a parallel string. This means you can group modules that receive shade onto a single string, and the modules that do not receive shade on another, to maximise your overall energy generation. Simply by putting panels on separate strings, you can reduce the impact.
The operation of the PV module is affected by dust particles in two ways: the effect of airborne dust particles and the effect of the dust settlement on the front surface of the PV module (Zaihidee et al., 2016).

Dust is an important well known ecological factor that significantly impacts the performance of solar panels in achieving the overall target of power production by renewable sources. Study about the performance of solar panels under the influence of dust particles becomes more effective when these are to be worked out in hot and dusty areas.
Due to accumulation of dust particles on the surface of solar PV systems, and output power is reduced to a large extent. It is concluded that a small layer of dust itself reduces PV system efficiency to a large extent. The minimum power value of 3.88 W is obtained during the accumulation of rice husk on the solar PV module.
Given the foregoing parameters, dust clogging is proven as major impact slowing down the development of PV solar energy. Therefore, a reliable dust mitigation strategy has to take into account the environmental and meteorological data of the site, the properties and physical phenomena related to dust.
Accordingly, the PV power loss, the degradation of PV efficiency, the strength or lifespan of solar cells and the solar irradiance of PV panels are significantly impacted. It is therefore analyzed these parameters, avoid sites highly polluted by these factors and at high risk of contamination by burned fossil fuels before installing the PV system.
To resolve these challenges which could impact the energy yield of PV systems, the impact of dust as well as effective cleaning mechanisms are required to be studied to restore the performance and power generation output.
