Why PV Soil Monitoring ?

0 %

Up to 60% energy losses due to soiling in a single month in desert region

Soiling losses in PV panels are specific to design, technology and local weather conditions

Non-uniform soiling is a major contributor to hotspot formation and accelerated degradation

0 %

Solar cleaning costs account for up to 30% of total system O&M budget

PV Pattern Soiling Station

Optimize PV system performance
