The Impact of Dust on Photovoltaic Power Stations and the Solution - Dust Monitoring System for Solar Panel

The impact of dust on photovoltaic power stations cannot be ignored. First of all, dust covering the photovoltaic panels will block sunlight and reduce the transmittance of the panels, thereby reducing power generation efficiency. Secondly, dust may also cause the panel temperature to rise and form hot spots. This will not only reduce power generation but also may damage the panels. In addition, corrosive substances in dust may also erode the surface of the panels, further reducing power generation efficiency. Therefore, regularly cleaning the photovoltaic panels and keeping them clean are crucial for improving the power generation efficiency of the power station and prolonging the service life of the panels.

The Dust Monitoring System for Solar Panel is a device installed on the frame of photovoltaic panels. It uses blue light pollutant closed-loop measurement technology to monitor the dust accumulation on photovoltaic panels in real time. This device can measure the light transmission loss caused by pollutants and convert these data into power generation loss, helping operation and maintenance personnel determine when the photovoltaic panels need to be cleaned. It does not require additional maintenance and only needs to be cleaned together when the photovoltaic panels are cleaned.

This monitor can collect data such as dust thickness, pollution ratio, cleanliness ratio and backplane temperature, and send it to the monitoring platform wirelessly. The blue light technology it uses can effectively avoid the interference of sunlight and achieve all-weather monitoring.

It also has an intelligent control function. It can automatically start the cleaning program according to the set pollution threshold to keep the photovoltaic panels clean, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the power station. The device also has a self-calibration function to ensure the accuracy of monitoring data.

It supports both AC and DC power supply modes and has a green power management function. The installation and use of this monitor are very simple and can effectively improve the operating efficiency and economic benefits of photovoltaic power stations.
