The current work details the development of a new dual model, CNNs-GANs, that enhances the earlier classification networks for categorizing various kinds of dust on solar panels. It
the types of dust, and the impact on PV cells is inevitable. Therefore, it is highly important to clean the panels at regular intervals to maximise PV generation. To ensure clean panels, the
This paper presents a non-evasive methodology in quantifying the amount of dust and soiling on solar PVs by investigating five different image-processing techniques. This study looks at
Once the solar panel is properly segmented in the image, we proceed to classify the solar panel according to the physical fault. The select ed classes are: ''cracks'', ''shadow'',
Solar panels, the primary components of solar photovoltaic systems, play a pivotal role in converting sunlight into electricity. However, the efficiency and performance of solar panels
Electricity production from photovoltaic (PV) systems has accelerated in the last few decades. Numerous environmental factors, particularly the buildup of dust on PV panels have resulted in a
This paper is organised as follows: section II outlines the proposed review methodology, section III explains the significance of studying dust accumulation and its impact on PV panels performance, section IV discussed the impact of

At present, the main methods for detecting surface dust on solar photovoltaic panels include object detection, image segmentation and instance segmentation, super-resolution image generation, multispectral and thermal infrared imaging, and deep learning methods.
Dust is one of the essential parameters that affect PV panel performance, yield, and profitability. However, the dust characteristics (type, size, shape, meteorology, etc.) is geographical site specified. Many researchers investigated PV panel dust cleaning and mitigation methods.
Specifically, extensive and in-depth validation experiments have been conducted on the surface dust detection dataset of solar photovoltaic panels. The experimental results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness and excellent performance of the improved algorithm in this field.
In terms of data processing, we adopted the solar photovoltaic panel dust detection dataset and divided the data into training, validation, and testing sets in a strict 7:2:1 ratio to ensure that the quality and quantity of training, validation, and testing data are fully guaranteed.

These factors would include weather conditions, design parameters, installation settings, and location characteristics. Although there is a good deal of research regarding the cleaning methods and materials for PV panels, pre-scheduled cleaning cycles are still dominant for medium to large-scale PV projects.
