Scientists in Morocco recently conducted a year-long study on the impacts of soiling on PV modules in arid, dusty conditions. They found that soiling could contribute to daily performance losses of as much as 15%.The arid, dusty regions of the world present a great opportunity for solar energy - often pairing consistently high irradiation with large areas of land that have few other practical uses. But such regions also present a challenge in the form of harsh weather conditions and dust particles that can badly affect the performance of a PV system. Soiling has been well studied as an issue affecting ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
