SEVEN Soiling Sensor is designed to measure the loss of energy production due to soiling caused by environmental factors on photovoltaic panels. The Soiling sensor, which is suitable for commercial, utility, industrial and rooftop projects, notifies the user of production losses due to soiling. If soiling ratio read from the sensor is 10%, it means that there is 10% energy loss in the facility.
SEVEN Soiling Sensor calculates the soiling rate of the PV system by comparing the irradiance values received from two clean and dirty irradiance sensors. While the dirty irradiance sensor in the system is exposed to soiling in the same way as the panels, the clean irradiance sensor is automatically cleaned every day. Monitoring systems give the user the energy loss by comparing the two irradiance values according to the data received from the cleaned and dirty irradiance sensors.
