| Abstract: | Recent advancements in self-cleaning solar panel technologies have significantly enhanced photovoltaic (PV) system efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements, and promoted sustainability. Among these innovations, Electrodynamic Screen (EDS) systems stand out by employing electromagnetic fields to repel dust particles from solar panel surfaces without the need for water or manual intervention. This paper will focus specifically on EDS technology, exploring its operating principles and, critically, examining how high voltage is generated and safely applied to solar panels. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for evaluating the viability and scalability of EDS solutions in real-world solar energy applications, particularly in arid and dust-prone environments. |
