Abstract


The future of world is with renewable energy sources, solar energy is clean and sustainable energy source. In a nation like India with its limited resources and geographical location of all non-conventional energy sources solar energy is most feasible.  The present work is related to study on mono and poly crystallised silica PV cells its performance and efficiency under operation at Vellore, located at south east India, also investigation is biased on different orientation angles of modules. Dust accumulation on glass samples over a period of one month are investigated considering the impact on transmittance. The glass plates are never physically cleaned during experiment but may be subjected to natural to cleaning causes. Also the effect of inclination angles on dust deposition density and transmittance is also discussed.
