Cleaning of Floating Photovoltaic Systems: A Critical Review on Approaches from Technical and Economic Perspectives

Rafi Zahedi et al.

Summary: Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) systems, which install PV panels on water surfaces, offer a promising solution to improve efficiency and reduce water evaporation. However, the cleaning techniques for FPV systems are still under-researched, with water-based and water-free approaches having different pros and cons. Factors such as cleaning frequency and economic aspects should be considered when selecting suitable cleaning techniques for FPV systems.
