and shape dust particles complicates maintenance of PV 
modules. If the PV module glass is not texturized, then the 
dust particles can be removed from the surface by cleaning. 
However, if the glass is texturized with the texture size of 
micrometer or nanometer scale, suppressing light reflection 
from glass might create comfortable conditions for the dust
