Soiling from dust and other particles is one of the biggest causes of PV underperformance worldwide. Image: Kiwa PI Berlin. Soiling-related losses are among the most serious threats to PV performance.

Scientists in India have designed a new soiling chamber that is capable of emulating the soiling conditions of a given geographical location in a shorter time frame, hosting larger panels compared to ...

Swish Solar has an AI-driven tool that optimizes solar panel cleaning schedules to reduce soiling losses and operating costs. The platform uses data analytics and forecasting models to help operators ...

A research team from Türkiye’s Konya Technical University has unveiled a passive anti-soiling solution for solar panels. The approach relies on a thin film of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles ...

Present systems do not monitor large PV plants on the module level. Yet that is exactly where faults occur, which affect the connection of several solar modules in series, that is, the complete string ...
