A group of scientists in Bangladesh has developed a model to determine the optimal cleaning schedule for a PV installation at any location in the globe, requiring only the average insolation and soiling rate for a given site to make the calculation. The study also draws new conclusions regarding the influence of sandstorms and rain on soiling, and aims to be among the first studies to paint a global picture of soiling trends by region.Balancing the cost of a cleaning cycle against the revenue lost from dust and dirt soiling a PV panel is often a difficult equation for PV plant operators, one that's ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
