| Popis: | 35th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1523-1527 We evaluate a new proprietary optical soiling measurement technology that does not require washing. The compact, water-free, and maintenance-free sensor technology is designed to permit PV system soiling measurement with lower cost and labor requirements compared to traditional soiling measurement systems using a clean/soiled pair of PV reference devices. These attributes make the sensor suitable for a wide range of sites including not only utility but also commercial-scale PV installations. Laboratory test results using soiled glass test coupons demonstrate excellent correlation between the optical sensor and a PV cell, and field testing is underway. |
