The direction of this research is to simulate an electrodynamic dust shield on solar panels by using a software named COMSOL. The EDS will be connected to a 3phase voltage source and an Electric field will be produced. This electric field will move the dust away from the solar panel’s surface. Try at different voltages/frequency and the one that gives thicker arrows will provide better electric field. Maximum voltage is 1.5kV. Record all trials and list each trial’s parameter: Each trial fill the following
