Field Deployable Mirror Soiling Detection Based on Polarimetric Imaging

SolarPACES Conference Proceedings
Heliostat mirror soiling is one of the significant factors for reduced optical efficiency of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) fields. However, it remains challenging to determine the mirror soiling patterns across the large area of the CSP field.

Luminescence Analysis of PV-Module Soiling in Germany

, 2022
Energy losses of photovoltaic (PV) plants because of soiling are a problem in all regions, including Germany. Soft soiling, caused by a uniform dust film, is shading a PV module and is reducing yield depending on the thickness of the debris layer.
