solar Pv in dusty areas

[SolarRoofSols]

Just looking at a farm building which suffers from a dust problem from surrounding plant, apart from that the roof is good for solar.

I have been lead to believe that to a large extent the panels are self cleaning (they will be on a 30degree roof) but are there any on the market that are better for self cleaning that others? I am going a Google search and have come across an article about EDS (~electrodynamic screen) on panels used in desert areas which means that any dust on the panel is removed through static forces. I am hitting a wall when I look to see whether any of the panels available on the market in the UK have any EDS or similar.

Has anyone any experience with managing PV and dust on a farm site?

Do they have a sprinkler system they can direct at the roof once a week?

That is an option I have considered but want to play it low maintenance if there is a satisfactory solution available.

You could look at Azur Solar. They boast about their special coating. No personal experience with them.
