چکیده

اکثر مناطقی که دارای پتانسیل تابشی بالایی جهت توسعه پنل‎های فتوولتاییک می‎باشند، مناطقی خشک و بیابانی همچون خاورمیانه و شمال آفریقا هستند. در چنین مناطقی، پدیده گرد و غبار به شدت بر عملکرد پنل‎های فتوولتاییک تاثیر می‎گذارد. مقاله حاضر با هدف بررسی فعالیت‎های گرد و غبار در ایران و نیز پارامترهای موثر بر نشست گرد و غبار بر سطح پنل‎های فتوولتاییک، به مرور جامع پژوهش‎های صورت گرفته در این حوزه پرداخته است. بررسی‎های انجام شده در این حوزه نشان داد که در سال‎های اخیر، تعدد و شدت فعالیت‎های گرد و غبار در ایران به صورت قابل توجهی افزایش یافته است. دلایل این افزایش و منشاهای اصلی فعالیت‎های گرد و غبار در ایران به تفضیل تشریح گردید. در ادامه، ویژگی‎های فیزیکی و شیمیایی ذرات گرد و غبار جمع‎آوری شده از سطح پنل‎ها در مناطق مختلف تشریح گردید. علاوه بر این با مرور پیشینه پژوهش، پارامترهای موثر در فرایند نشست گرد و غبار بر سطح پنل‎های فتوولتاییک دسته‎بندی گردید و نحوه تاثیر هر یک از این پارامترها به‎طور مفصل تشریح شد. نتایج این پژوهش می‎تواند به‎عنوان مرجع کاملی برای استفاده پژوهش‎گران، طراحان و مهندسان در مناطقیکه با مشکل گرد و غبار دست و پنجه نرم می‎کنند، قرار گیرد.
