SOLAR PANEL INFRARED RADIATION ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM
Abstract
This paper describes the ice protection system that uses infrared radiation for removal of ice and crust from the front surface of the solar panel in low temperature conditions (less than 00С). The authors justified usefulness of the system for panels used in cold climate regions; discussed alternative approaches of ice and crust removal from solar panel operating surfaces. Location and function of the system components are aimed at increasing the panel operation efficiency during and after atmospheric precipitation. We showed the details of multi-layer structure of the system and described a method of component calculation. We also showed the results of experiments demonstrating the operability of the system in winter conditions.
