Abstract
This study investigated experimentally the effect of air born suspend matters
deposition on PV module located in harsh climate close to the sea. The experimental
measurements are carried out under outdoor conditions in Alexandria, Egypt to identify the
module performance degradation as a function of time as well as the time schedule for
module surface cleaning. However, as the sea is nearby it's a source for nocturnal
condensate on module surface. The experiments were conducted during period from 13
