The two dominant methods used in the industry to estimate soiling levels on solar projects go some way in mitigating losses, but there is plenty of scope for more accurate observation.From pv magazine 01/23 Soiling loss - the reduction in irradiance absorbed by a solar module due to the accumulation of particulate matter on its surface - is an important variable to characterize and monitor at utility scale PV plants. Surface contamination disrupts the optical processes dictating the fate of photons, meaning more solar energy is directed away from the module due to enhanced scattering at this interface. ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
