Reduction of Soiling on Photovoltaic Modules by a Tracker System with Downward-Facing Standby State

The radiation received by solar cells within photovoltaic modules is lower than that arriving at the module surface. One of the causes of this energy loss is soiling of the module surface. Therefore, the influence of dust adhesion on photovoltaic modules must be studied. In this study, we prepared t...
