Questions & Answers: The Importance of Soiling Monitoring & Mitigation

In June 2021, our Application Development Manager Damon Nitzel participated in a webinar hosted by pv magazine. Joining forces with Troy Morlan of Nor-Cal Controls, and Carla Dawson of Relysm, the experts took a deep dive into environmental monitoring, SCADA integration, and solar panel cleaning using robotics and automation to increase awareness of soiling losses and emphasize the importance of long-term considerations during development.

Due to the high interest in the webinar, the organizers conducted a follow-up interview with the speakers Nitzel, Morlan, and Dawson based on the large number of questions arising during the one-hour session. In this post, we focus on a selection of questions that are both general and webinar related. If you didn’t attend the webinar when it aired live, fret not.
