This review examines the impact of dust on PV performance and evaluates cleaning approaches, including electrostatic removal, super hydrophobic and super hydrophilic coatings, surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology, robotic systems, and manual methods. The global expansion of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems necessitates efficient maintenance strategies to sustain energy yield. Dust deposition on PV modules is a critical issue, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, as it reduces light transmission and causes significant power losses. The review analyzes 30 recent studies, which provide insight into performance. Recent studies have suggested that PV cleaning systems are the most effectivemethod for reducing dust accumulation,as they can reach more areas of the module and are more efficient than manual and forced air cleaning. Finally,several studies have reported trends in dust-related losses in PV.
