Study on Analysis of Solar Panel Efficiency in Vietnam a Power Comparison Before and Post Cleaning
Abstract
Vietnam is developing as a solar energy powerhouse, ranking eighth in the world in terms of installed solar capacity. With a long coastline and continuous high solar irradiation levels, the country makes a strong push toward renewable energy to meet its rising demands for energy to drive economic growth. The effectiveness of solar panels installed in Vietnam are decreased due to mass accretion of dust, dirt spots, muddy build-ups and birds droppings etc. Maintaining high capacity panels would be a problematic if it is not consistently cleaned. In the PV sector, O&M aids in the effective cleaning process and ensures solar cell sustainability. Systematic polishing of solar panels leads to increase in the output power generation and tends to maintain a consistent performance in solar cells, allowing the country to meet its energy needs.
