چکیده :

The rapid growth of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is critical to reducing carbon emissions and increasing network sustainability. However, their performance is strongly affected by environmental conditions, especially surface contamination. Dust, moisture, and contaminants can reduce network stability, increase maintenance requirements, and shorten system lifetime. Therefore, effective cleaning strategies are essential for reliable PV performance. This review article analyzes various solar panel cleaning techniques available in the literature, including manual cleaning, stationary systems, chemical coatings, and robotic solutions. The reviewed studies are further synthesized in a structured comparative framework to highlight prevailing trends and research gaps. Ultimately, future research directions are informed by insights from the analyzed articles, including the proposal of an intelligent, automated cleaning system that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) and operates under various weather conditions.
