Abstract:This paper proposes an innovative method for detecting dust accumulation on photovoltaic (PV) systems and notifying users for timely cleaning. Consequently, dust detection has become a critical area of research into the energy efficiency of PV systems. The accumulation of dust, bird, or insect droppings on the surface of photovoltaic (PV) panels creates a barrier between the solar e ergy and the panel's surface to receive sufficient energy to generate electricity.
