Quantification of Dust Accumulation on Solar Panels Using the Contact-Characteristics-Based Discrete Element Method
Dust comprises particles usually present in the atmosphere. The deposition of dust on the surface of the solar panel seriously affects the light transmittance, resulting in lower pow-er generation efficiency and shortening the service life of the solar panel. Therefore, it is important to understand...
