CSP mirror soiling characterization and modeling [PDF]
, 2020 Soiling stands as a major problem for solar energy conversion technologies, causing unwanted transmittance, reflectance and absorbance losses. In this paper, a TraCS (Tracking Cleanliness Sensor) is used to quantify soiling effect in a flat mirror and to

Soil Surveys and Soil Analyses
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1911 In undertaking a survey of the soils of a given district the methods of analysis and the classification to be adopted (which in its turn shapes the scheme of the work) must be determined by the purpose before the investigator at the outset. His end may be scientific–to assign the soils in question to their types, or practical–to give information to the

Tracking soiling losses and cleaning profits trends
, 2021 Soiling losses can be mitigated by cleaning the PV modules. However, the profitability of PV cleaning varies with time, influenced by the electricity price, the module efficiency and the cleaning costs.

Soiling Modelling in Large Grid-Connected PV Plants for Cleaning Optimization
Energies, 2023 Soiling of PV modules is an issue causing non-negligible losses on PV power plants, between 3 and 4% of the total energy production. Cleaning is the most common way to mitigate soiling.
