On the uncertainty of estimating photovoltaic soiling using nearby soiling data [PDF]
e-Prime: Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy, 2023 The accumulation of dust on the surface of photovoltaic modules can reduce their performance and affect the cost competitiveness of this technology. This phenomenon is known as soiling and can be mitigated through appropriate corrective and/or preventive

Characterization of Soiling Bands on the Bottom Edges of PV Modules
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2021 Soiling of photovoltaic (PV) modules, especially non-uniform soiling, can lead to PV power loss. For example, soiling bands at the bottom edge of framed modules are caused by the accumulation of water and dirt at a lower tilt angle.
