文摘

Water condensate forms mud solution on PV cover surface under gravity. Dry mud solution forms crystals and increases dry mud adhesion on PV cover surface. Mud restudies on PV cover surface results in irregular friction coefficient behavior. Optical transmittance of PV cover reduces due to mud adhesion and surface deformation. This reduction increases over 25% for high mud drying temperatures.
