THE CLEANING PHOTOVOLTAIC ISSUE
The influence of soiling in a photovoltaic plant could cause remarkable energy losses according to the local climate and pollution conditions.
Soiling performance reduction depends on several variables:
- Wind speed and direction
- Kind of dust
- Moisture
- Natural cleaning occurrance
Soiling could cause also permanent damages to photovoltaic modules, like hot spots and cementation. Anyway cleaning operations have a relevant cost and are very important to optimize the process determining when and how often performing the cleaning activities.
HOW IT WORKS
The device measures the output electrical parameters from a daily cleaned photovoltaic module and a module exposed to soiling under conditions similar to the system to be monitored.
The supplied web-based software, considering:
- PV plant power and technical features
- Estimated PV performance increase
- Price of energy and incentives, if any
- Water and cleaning operations costs
Detects the optimum cleaning period by considering the cost-benefit ratio related to the cleaning operations.
