The Solar Panel That Can Remove Dust Automatic
This solar panels can increase energy efficiency
Priced 240 million dollars solar panel market should adopt advanced dust removal technology. Many people know the advantages of solar energy, but few people know its Achilles heel: dirt. Very small amount (0.00484367821 kg / m2) dust on the solar panels can make the energy conversion rate decreased by 40%.
To solve this problem, the scientists turned to Mars, people use the similar technology in the Mars. NASA and the Mars mission at Boston University developed a self-cleaning technology to combat the red dust on Mars. This self- cleaning coating helps in clean up crew and aviation equipment and the dust on the solar panel.
Technology Commercialization
May be reflected from the current market conditions. The technology has not yet commercially available, including a dust monitoring sensor with a transparent coating. When excessive accumulation of dust in the battery panel, these sensors will launch a charge to paint, and then the paint will launch a bunch of electronic shock wave, and shock dust off the battery panel by limited energy. when the dust is too much, the panel with this tecnology can remove 90% of the dust in two minutes.
The solar panels with this coating can be coated to improve energy efficiency and decrease maintenance costs, especially for large-scale solar power plants. Installation is relatively simple, without mechanical equipment and the water to complete removal, so it is suitable in solar power plants in remote desert areas.
