1. INTRODUCTION
The advancement of mortal civilization depends on energy. Renewable powers are essential for unborn transportation,
artificial work, and diurnal demands for people (1). currently, reactionary energy has a huge quantum of uses and has led to
increased health problems like respiratory complaint,asthma,lung infection,andcancer(2– 4).Inaddition,reactionaryenergy
is limited on the earth and one day it'll be finished, leading to the need for indispensable energy for sustainable development.
Solar energy is the most precious natural energy source, and can fulfil the energy demands on Earth. Solar power stations are
essential because of unborn energy demand, and the present energy force comes from numerous sources (5 – 7).
Thirsty and semi-arid regions have a huge quantum of solar energy entered from the sun. However, the demand for fossil
energies would be precipitously reduced, if we were to store that energy for uses of diurnal requirements. Environmental
declination and global warming are caused by reactionary energy, and renewable energy sources represent an indispensable
relief for the demand for energy in the future (6) and volition for sustainable development (8). Solar energy remains unique as
a free, clean, and gushing energy source that provides electric energy to numerouscorridoroftheworld(8 – 10).Theenergyof
the solar system is constantly communicated in terms of the global vertical irradiance(GHI), which is the entire volume of the
shortwave radiation entered from over by a face vertical to the earth’s crust. The GHI comprises both the verbose vertical
irradiance(DHF) and the direct normal irradiance(DNI) (,11). Solar energy is now distributed to energy systems worldwide,
which is gradationally adding the demand (,13). Solar power shops are necessary worldwide, and this new renewable
technology is being erected in numerous corridor of the world.
Societies are growing, and the standard of living is rising, performing in a growing demand for energy. Solar energy is
decreasingly used to produce electricity in India,butthe environmental impactofconstructingand runningsolarpremisesisn't
yet well studied. Solar Park construction requires partial foliage junking and soil levelling. The use offossil energiesas a major
energy source has led to environmental pollution and global warming. In addition, fossil energies aren't renewable. In recent
decades, there has been a hunt for cheaper, affordable and more environment friendly and sustainable energy sources,
Amongst sustainable energy sources, solar energy is favoured, owing to its abundance and adding affordability. It's more
abundantly distributed in nature than any other renewable energy source. Solar energy has extensively and exponentially
grown in the last couple of decades, Solar photovoltaic(PV) technology convertstheSun’senergyto terrain-friendly electricity,
this has been one of the most booming forms of renewable energy in recent times, due to technological advancements and
favourable government programs that have made it decreasingly affordable and accessible,
PV development can also be salutary in terms of potentially supporting the recovery of demoralized land, profitable openings,
and pastoral electricity access. It also avoids the hothouse gas impacts, air quality enterprises, and other sources of pollution
caused by fossil energies.

PV technology is stationed in colourful ways. One popular approach leverages the rooftops of domestic or marketable
structures for solar panel installation, where solar panels are impervious panels of PV cells. Solarpanel arraysmountedon the
ground are another way of harvesting solar energy, particularly at a larger scale compared to domestic rooftopsolar.mileage-
scale ground solar panel installations used for electricity generation of 1 MW or lesser are generally appertained to as ‘solar
farms’.
Mileage- scale solar energy development needs a lot of space, and its large- scale installation could potentially have some
negative impacts on the terrain, but this depends on the way that the solar ranch is erected and maintained, the area covered
by 1MW solar granges can vary between2.5 acres to 4 acres depending on the PV module capacity.
There's a small but growing body of scientific exploration seeking to understandtheimpactsofEnvironmentconditiontosolar
granges generation conservation, also,therearefleetlyevolvingguidanceand/orregulationsondevelopmentpracticesrelated
to solar ranch perpetration. therefore, we seek to synthesize the current state of scientific knowledge and operation
recommendations, as well as to identify gaps. We review the current wisdom on how dust and soil impact solar granges
generation.
1.1 Environmental impact on the performance of PV system
The performance of PV systems is largely affected by internal and external factors similar as the structural features, growing,
radiation, shading, temperature, wind, pollution and cleanliness. Any type of climatic change causes changes in the solar
radiations and in the ambient temperature, hence causing changes in the solar PV affair performance.Inthispaper,effectofair
dust patches on PV model is studied and analysed with different dust samples and conditions.
1.2 Dust
Dust may be defined as crushed form of nanosecond patches having size lowerthan500μm.Dustmaycomeintheterrainfrom
colourful sources similar as constructional spots, diligence and dust storm. Dust consists of visible and unnoticeable, floating
and fallen patches of solid material.
2 RESEARCH BACKGROUND
2.1 STUDIES ON EFFECT OF DUST
The accumulation of dust on the faceofaphotovoltaicmoduledecreasestheradiationreachingthesolarcellandproduceslosses
in the generated power (14).Dust reduces the radiationavailable forthe photovoltaicconversiononthesolarcellandincreases
the energy loss of the system. Accumulation of dirt or dust patches on the solar photovoltaic panel face, corresponding as dust,
water, and beach, block or hamper light energy from entering the solar cells (15). It's a major problem since the accoutrements
for light inhibition disguise as external resistances which reduce solar photovoltaic effectiveness (16).
The dust will surely reduce the immersion capacity of the panel’s photovoltaic cells. A single subcaste of dust is enough to
obstruct the passage of light, and this will make the solar cells ineffective. Heavy dust covering the face of the solar panel will
reduce the affair of the system (17).
The effect would be more egregious if the PV system consists of further cells or Stand-Alone Photovoltaic(SAPV) systems
installed in areas where there will be heavy dust. Due to environmental conditions because of the exposure of shells, layers of
dustare accumulated. numerous other factors, similar as the direction of the wind, moisture, etc also impact the depositofdust
(18). It's preferable to have high wind pets as they help in driving down from the accumulated dust. Pmax, Imax, Isc, and fill
factor(FF) are the most affected performance characteristics by the dust deposits on the PV module face (19). Studies have
shown that accumulated dust can reduce solar panel performance, but the results haven't been easily quantified (20).
2.2 STUDY OF CLEANING AGENT AND THE EFFECTS OF COATING MATERIALS
Dust cleaning on PV face is a veritably important exploration compass to explore more advanced cleaning systems with
effective styles. Some of important cleaning styles are bandied as follows. PV module drawing technology handed bettered
effectiveness and defended the solar cell. The authors epitomized all the dust junking styles similarasnatural junkingofdusts,
mechanical junking dusts, tone- drawing nano- film and electrostatic junking of dusts (He etal. 2011).

For maximum power generation, a direct piezoelectric selector- grounded technology for solar panel cleaning is espoused in
assiduity terrain. A wiper is fixed with the selector for direct stir to remove the dust subcaste down effectively from the solar
module face. This cleaning technology is featherlight and compact in size (Lu etal. 2013).
Reducing the cost of the solar panel cleaning is a crucial exploration issue for feasibility of solar factory. The authors
concentrated on optimizing the cleaning stylesforsolarfactoryatsemidesertclimateout-of-doorconditions.Differentcleaning
styles are used, and according to attained results, the most effective cleaning system is grounded on water and an encounter
cleaning. The attained results are validated the conception as average effectiveness of 98.8 in stormy ages and97.2 in dry
seasons (Garcia etal. 2014).
The authors developed an innovative receiver tube study for covering the performance of solar panel cleaning styles. Five
distinguish drawing styles have been applied and concluded that the receiver tube is the most effective system. This systemis
traditional in comparison with the rest of the tested styles. The authors(KawamotoandShibata 2015)havebeendevelopedan
advanced cleaning system that uses electrostatic force to remove beach from solar panel face. The designedcleaningsystemis
demonstrated and set up that further than 90 of the clinging beach is repelled fromthePVmoduleface.The performanceofthe
system was bettered, indeed when the deposit of beach on the panel is extremely high. The provedtechnology isanticipatedto
enhance effectiveness of MW solar power shops located in desert areas.
The authors (Mondal and Bansal 2015) have developed an electromechanical- grounded robotic arm system for solar PV
module face cleaning. The system has been analysed and optimized for high effectivity. Theadvancedsystemdoesn'taffectthe
factual performance of PV system, since it isn't coupled with the PV panels. As the tests were conductedon50 WPV panels,the
effectiveness improvement is set up. Dust, dirt and raspberry faces are the major causes of reduction in PV system
performance. A comprehensive overview is presented on dust issues, and the recent developments made on automated
cleaning system for solar PV modules (Mondal and Bansal 2015).
The Performance and goods of Coating Accoutrements as a CleaningAgenton Poly-Crystal PVPanelsbyKhaleel Abushgairand
Rafat Al- Waked was on probing the goods of different easy- to-clean accoutrements on the performance of polycrystalline
silicon panels experimentally. This was achieved by sheeting the cell face with different types of easy- to-clean accoutrements
innovated in the original request and one in- house developed material. The main cleaning accoutrementsandways thatwere
compared in this study were Crystal glass coating type AJJL- CSS Jiajialy nano energy saving and anti UV result, GIE, TGIE,
sodium hexa- metaphosphate and Nano Ultra. (21)
The full- scale measures of cell temperatures and affair voltage of the delved cell, both bare cells and carpeted cells, showed
that all applied coating accoutrements were suitable to reduce the cell temperature with different scales. The Jiajialy Nano
energy saving and anti UV result showed the stylish cooling effect that redounded in smallest cell temperature. The GIE and
TGIE coating accoutrements showed analogous trends in reducing cell temperatures. likewise, the affair voltage of the delved
cells carpeted with GIE and TGIE accoutrements showed the stylish results with high voltage labours.
The GIE and TGIE coating accoutrements showed optimal results with a slight advantage for TGIE coating material.exercising
the TGIE coating accoutrements made it easier to blow the dust from the top of the cell face, which redounded in a lower
accumulating quantum of dust. It's worth mentioningthat all drawing wayswerecontemporaneouslyusedtoincreasedrawing
effectiveness by reducing dust accumulation, by reversing ultraviolet radiation and by reducing cell temperature. This led to
perfecting the electrical effectiveness of the photovoltaic cells.
The current disquisition is part of an ongoing design that's concerned with chancing the optimum effect of GIE and TGIE on
solar cell temperature by using different attention ofTiO2 nanoparticlesinthecoated material admixture.also,goodsofusinga
spin coating machine would yield a thinner coating subcaste which could affectin moreaccurateresults.Thisistobeexamined
in unborn work.
2.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF 1MW
Cost of implementation of 1MW ground mount is taken it to account, Where Land requirement is around 3 Acres and now a
day’s panel specification is increasing gradually till date it is about 600watts +, the cost of land is not taken into account. The
cost of solar power systems has changed recently and the government is promoting green energy mission in many ways. A
1MW solar power plant con now be installed just by investing INR 4-5 crores. For instance, if INR 5 crores is spent, Thereafter,
it can supply the electricity to the government for 25 years, it also awards warranty for panel for about 25 years and 5 to 10
years for inverters, and the operation & maintenance cost is around 3 Lakhs per MW.

2.4 GENERATION
In Tamilnadu state as analysed practically by using PVsyst simulation in different part of the state it has come to know the
generation per 1kW is in and around 4.3kW to 4.6 kW , we can take 4.5kW as an average generation part , Now a days bifacial
solar panel are used, technically it increases 30% of generation, In other case some of them are increasing the DC side of the
inverter connectivity according to their capacity of 1:3 ratio where wealsoabletoincreasethegeneration,Ininverterselection
area mostly preferred string inverter than going for centralized type even the cost of implementation is higher 10Lakhs to
15lakhs where the downtime of inverter service is reduced.
2.5 ROI
In an average 4.5kW of generation per one day, where cost of 1kW is 50000 INR (analysis fromdivingcostof5CroresperMW)
for simplifying the calculation, 3.61 in INR (captive and Group captive model) given by TNERC, then if purchasing power from
private producers at Rs 7.01 in INR (third party model), and wheeling chargers are also taken from 0.5% to 2.5% according to
their traffic. In case of selling to government we get ROI of 8.5 years respectively.
3. CONCLUSION
Land selection or place where we are going to implement the solar plant so important which may affectthegenerationor even
change the material property such as glass reflection even MMS used may cause damage due to external factor such as near to
sea or implementation cost may increase or also affect ROI even make the project failure
