The accumulation of sand on the surface of solar photovoltaic modules will directly affect the temperature of the module, and the temperature in turn affects the output characteristics of the module.
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Photovoltaic power generation is one of the most effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the surface of photovoltaic modules in desert areas is mainly affected by sand erosion and cover, which affect power output.
From the results shown in Figure 9, it is revealed that under the circumstance of sand and dust contamination, the temperature of the photovoltaic module decreases initially and subsequently rises with the augmentation of the particle size of the sand and dust particles.
Furthermore, due to the intrinsic gravity, G, some sand and dust particles exhibited greater sizes than others, reducing the relative power generation rate. This can be attributed to the increased elasticity of the component toward sand and dust and the amplified interaction force among the sand particles.
The output power of the module gradually decreases with the increase in sand accumulation density. The density of the sand accumulation on the surface of the PV module increases from 0 to 40 g/m 2, and the maximum output power decreases by 32.2%.
Figure 13 illustrates that as the density of the sand accumulation is augmented, the fill factor of the PV module initially increases and subsequently decreases. The intrinsic determinants influencing the silicon solar cells’ fill factor include the module’s open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current.
