Soiling and Cleaning
Mani and Pallai, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 14 (2010) 3124-3131
Factors influencing
dust settlement
Site Characteristics(vegetation, traffic,
air pollution)
Ambient Temperature and
Humidity
PV System tilt-angle and orientation
(includes exposure to sun and wind)
Dust Properties(type, shape, size,
weight)
Wind Velocity
Glazing Characteristics
(texture and coating)

Soiling and CleaningCleaning Methods and Frequency are tailored to site specifics
Frameless module gives better cleaning surface
Dry-cleaning method– Typical expected annual soiling loss < 4%
– Encourages water conservation
– Provides confidence in Energy Predictions
Various new solutions for automatic cleaning entering market
Soiling Monitoring Station can help quantify site conditions
