Air pollution has a significant influence on solar PV energy potential as air pollutants reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching PV surfaces.
Elimination of air pollution for solar PV power generation Eliminating air pollution through effective policies and measures can reduce anthropogenic aerosol emissions, consequently increasing solar radiation reaching the surface with a potential increase in solar PV power generation.
Elimination of air pollution by governmental policies and measures is beneficial to increase surface solar radiation and, consequently, increasing the power generation of PV modules. In addition, reducing air pollution, especially the concentrations of particulate matter, would also decrease the soiling of PV modules.
India faces a significant reduction in solar PV power generation resulting from increasing air pollution as similar to China. Peters et al. derived an empirical model to estimate the energy yield losses of PV modules due to air pollution based on measured data in Delhi.
Shifting high-polluted power generation devices to solar-powered technologies will contribute to air cleaning. In turn, great benefits from a cleaner atmosphere are expected for the solar PV sector as well as health, environment and economy.
