Literature Survey of Dust Particle Dimensions on Soiled Solar Panel Modules

Poster Presented at the International PV Soiling Workshop, Golden CO, 2018 I. Study Type: Literature Search - Mean dust particle diameter of dust particles found on solar panels in field conditions List of references. II. Methodology A literature search was performed on Web of Science. Inclusion criteria: 1) Dust accumulation on live solar panels 2) Dust accumulation on solar panel test cites 3) Dust particle size on solar panels 2) Dust particle size on solar panel test cites Exclusion criteria: 1) Articles describing dust as aerosols Search Results 75 locations/data points were obtained from 58 articles Standard test dust data. Information on standard test dust was obtained from PTI, Inc website. Interactive map of particle size available on www.bit.ly/soiling
