The effects of lunar dust accumulation on the performance of photovoltaic arrays [PDF]

Lunar base activity, particularly rocket launch and landing, will suspend and transport lunar dust. From preliminary models, the resulting dust accumulation can be significant, even as far as 2 km from the source.
