This method of removal depends on the conversion of dust into active dust and uses an electric field of high voltage supply to generate electricity on a screen that charges dust particles and facilitates their removal by moving them over the edge of the plate surface. The researchers found that through the use of this method can remove 90% of the dust

In order to harness the abundant solar energy in the desert environment, more and more large-scale photovoltaic systems have been installed in deserts terrains. However, the typical sandstorms and accumulation of dust on the solar panels are the challenges to reckon with in order to effectively harvest the high intensity solar radiation. The conventional dust

It is concluded that the increased harvest of solar energy by designing an automatic robotic dry cleaning system to minimize the dust on the surface of the solar PV panel. A new type of brush has been produced for the developed cleaning device, which is low cost and does not damage the PV panel surface ( Parrott et al., 2018 ).
The results of the study showed that by increasing the electrical voltage, the amount of dust removed increased. Ref. (M., 2011) studied the effect of the use of the electrical dynamics system to remove dust from PV was investigated with the study of the effect of the mass of dust accumulated on the surface.
The characteristics of the accumulated dust (type, size, shape, meteorology, etc.) are determined by its geographical source, and its effect is not only to reduce the solar radiation reaching the surface of the PV, but also to adhere to these surfaces and scratched and work on corrosion and reduce their life span.
Ref (Alqatari et al., 2015). developed a model to study the output of three techniques used to remove dust from PV. The techniques were electrodynamic screens, super hydrophobic nano-coatings and air-blowing mechanisms. Researchers used meteorological data from six locations in Saudi Arabia.
