The effect of dust on the efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules in National Polytechnic University of Armenia (NPUA) is considered. Experimental measurements were carried out over a period of one year, comparing the electrical characteristics of cleaned and uncleaned modules. Regular cleaning of the PV module surface was performed using a developed automated cleaning system.
