Photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar cells, comprise multiple layers that work together to convert sunlight into electricity. The primary layers include: The primary layers include: The top layer, or the anti-reflective coating, maximizes light absorption and minimizes reflection, ensuring that as much sunlight as possible enters the cell.
Dust on solar panels can reduce their efficiency and overall performance by blocking sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells. To combat this, solar panel manufacturers have implemented several technologies such as self-cleaning coatings and panel inclinations to minimize the amount of dust buildup on panels. Additionally ...
