Abstract
A wind-cleaned photovoltaic solar panel (10) has an array of photovoltaic cells (12) under a panel surface (14). A two-dimensional array of cleaning elements (18) are anchored to the panel surface at cleaning-array locations (20) on the panel surface, at least one of which is spaced away from edges of the panel. Each of the cleaning elements (18) is an elongated wind-displaceable element having a length less than 50 percent of a width of the panel surface (14).
Claims22
A wind-cleaned photovoltaic solar panel comprising:
- (a) an array of photovoltaic cells under a common panel surface, said panel surface having a length and a width, and terminating at panel edges;
- and
- (b) a two-dimensional array of cleaning elements, each cleaning element anchored to said panel surface at a cleaning-array location on said panel surface, at least one of said cleaning-array locations being spaced away from said panel edges, each of said cleaning elements comprising an elongated wind-displaceable element having a length less than 50 percent of said width of said panel surface.
