The performance of a solar photovoltaic module can be improved with aid to predictive, corrective and preventive maintenance procedures. Most of the solar modules installed in the roof top are under non-maintenance state. For the locations like dusty environments and deserts, the dust accumulation will be more. Hence, it is the major requirement to clean the PV modules which are much costlier to do in regular basis. In this paper, an anti-reflective coating (hydrophilic) is used to deteriorate the losses due to reflectance in a solar PV module and thereby enhancing its efficiency. In addition to it, easy-to-clean coating (super hydrophilic) is used to improve the dust cleaning effectiveness in a solar PV module. The material employed for anti-reflective coating is MgF2 and for easy-to-clean coating is SiO2. Two polycrystalline solar PV modules of 10 Wp capacity with model ADT12AN are connected to similar kind of optimized load of 40 Ω in a field condition. American Standard Testing Methodology (ASTM: E948) is used for standard test measurements. Based on the characteristics of different coating techniques, the optimized coating performance is considered. One module coated with anti-reflective and easy-to-clean coatings is considered for the analysis. The comparative analysis between the modules is undertaken with LABView software. An extensive analysis for module performance validation with experimental setup is carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed system. From the results, it can be clearly observed that a 2% rise in the overall power performance using anti-reflective coating is achieved. This can lead to an increase in yearly energy output of the solar plant.

使用太阳能功能涂层的光伏组件的性能增强

借助于预测性,纠正性和预防性维护程序,可以提高太阳能光伏模块的性能。安装在屋顶上的大多数太阳能模块处于免维护状态。对于尘土飞扬的环境和沙漠等地区,灰尘的积聚会更多。因此,清洁常规组件的成本高得多,这是清洁光伏组件的主要要求。在本文中,抗反射涂层(亲水性)用于使由于太阳能PV模块中的反射率引起的损耗恶化,从而提高其效率。除此之外,还使用易于清洁的涂层(超亲水性)来提高太阳能光伏组件中的灰尘清洁效果。防反射涂层使用的材料是MgF 2,易清洁涂层使用的材料是SiO2。两个ADT12AN型10 Wp容量的多晶太阳能光伏模块在现场条件下连接到类似的40Ω优化负载。美国标准测试方法(ASTM:E948)用于标准测试测量。根据不同涂层技术的特点,可以考虑优化涂层性能。考虑使用一种涂有抗反射和易于清洁涂层的模块进行分析。模块之间的比较分析是使用LABView软件进行的。通过实验设置对模块性能进行了广泛的分析,以证明所提出系统的有效性。从结果可以清楚地观察到,使用抗反射涂层可使整体功率性能提高2%。
