Scientists in India carried out a comprehensive study into the impacts of soiling on PV modules - measuring the amount of performance loss caused by different types of dust and bird droppings, and for modules installed at various tilt angles, in the hot-dry climate of Vellore in southern India. Their findings could allow developers to better take into account and mitigate the effects of soiling during site selection and system design.Dust, bird droppings and other materials accumulating on the surface of PV modules in the field already amount to billions of dollars each year in lost energy output ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
