Machine learning for predictive maintenance of photovoltaic panels: cleaning process application

It is well known that the presence of dust on the surface of PV modules has a significant impact on their efficiency. Then, the consequent reduction in energy production has a non-negligible effect on the incomes. Although there is a growing need for accurate data showing where the solar arrays need...

Description
Summary:It is well known that the presence of dust on the surface of PV modules has a significant impact on their efficiency. Then, the consequent reduction in energy production has a non-negligible effect on the incomes. Although there is a growing need for accurate data showing where the solar arrays need maintenance in this rush for renewable energy. The purpose of this article is to introduce the research on existing photovoltaic panel maintenance solutions and introduce a new machine learning algorithm application to minimize the cleaning process of photovoltaic modules.
