AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract)

Why to Wash Solar Modules?

Soiling Losses

✓ Soiling losses refer to loss in power resulting from snow, dirt,dust and other particles that cover the surface of the PVmodule.
✓ Dust is generated from many sources such as pollution by wind,pedestrian volcanic eruptions,and vehicularmovementsamong many others.
✓ The accumulated dust over time aggravates the soiling effect.In fact,the amount of accumulated dust on the surface of the PV module affects the overall energy delivered from the PV module on a daily, monthly, seasonal and annual basis.
✓ Different parts of the world are assessed and it was found that the India, Middle East and North Africa are the worstdust accumulation zones in the world.

Dust Intensity Around the World

Effect of Dust and Soiling on Performance

• Irradiation loss due to dust around 5% is reported.

• Dirty solar array has 1.4% reduction each year.

• The average deduction in power output in different reign, for example power output reduce in Saudi 40%, in Kuwait round 65%, Egypt 33–65%and in USA 1–4.7%.

• Dust accumulation reduce peak power around 18% e.

• The founding shows that degradation output of 80% or less with 3% of spot dirt on the PV module.

• During one-month power output reduce from 87 to 75%.

• Efficiency reduce 26% & 40% from solar collectors and PV module,respectively.

• Voltage loss around 0.86% on other hand current reduce 13%.

• Efficiency reduce after 1 and 6 months by 33.5% and 65.8% respectively.

• Spraying the surface of PV can recover 95% of the reflectance losses.
