This study was carried out at the International Center for Training and Research in Solar
Energy (CIFRES) and its main purpose was to study the performance of a solar module
cleaning system. To handle this work, a measuring platform consisting of two polycrystalline
(pc-Si) PV modules was designed. The modules were connected to a waterless cleaning
system on the surface of the solar panels. The platform also contained a temperature sensor
on the surface of the module, a pyranometer, shunt resistors (for current measurement), and …
