Soiling Services of PV and Solar Systems
The boom in the photovoltaic and solar thermal energy means that in Germany some 2.4 million photovoltaic and solar power systems are now installed. There has resulted in an enormous module and collector area totalling more than 160,000.000 m2 (Sources: Photon 10/2010 and BSWSolar). This huge surface area is located out-of-doors and is therefore exposed to a multitude of sources of dirt. In common with every car, skylight and window, photovoltaic and solar power systems are also prone to dirt. There are a number of factors at play in this context and these are explained below.
Affected Systems and Earnings
In general it can be said: almost every system should be cleaned at some time during its life time. There are differences in relation to the type and severity of soiling. Systems that are situated in the proximity of sources of dirt (e.g. agriculture with stall aeration, road, train tracks ...) are usually more severely affected than others. With some systems, the self-cleaning process (rain) functions so well that soiling is so low that cleaning is only necessary very occasionally (every two to four years). Many other systems have to be cleaned every six months or even more frequently.
