Snow removal method for self-heating of photovoltaic panels and its feasibility study

To solve the problem of winter snow accumulation in photovoltaic power stations, a new method of self-heating to remove snow from photovoltaic panels is proposed. This method overcomes the drawbacks of existing methods. No additional devices are needed, and photovoltaic cell wear, resource waste, and safety risk is reduced. Using the structural characteristics of the pn junction in the photovoltaic cell, a positive voltage is applied to the...
