Regularly check the surface of PV modules for dust, bird droppings, or obstructions, and clean them if necessary. Use an infrared thermal imaging camera to detect local overheating (hot spots).
A photovoltaic (PV) cell, commonly called a solar cell, is a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight directly into electricity. Sunlight is composed of photons, or particles of solar energy.
We know that solar power is affected by weather conditions and output varies through the days and seasons. Clouds, rain, snow and fog can all block sunlight from reaching solar panels.
Properly installed, high-quality combiner boxes demand minimal upkeep. Your chosen unit must satisfy your project's technical specifications and adhere to UL1741 certification, the industry-standard requirement for this equipment category.
The deposition of dust and other micro particles over the PV modules is termed as Soiling. Furthermore, soiling is counted as one of the major causative factors hampering the PV power performance.
