PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
For long-term operating photovoltaic (PV) systems, dust accumulation on panels can significantly impact performance. Dust on the panel surface causes reflection, scattering, and absorption of solar radiation, reducing solar transmittance and consequently decreasing the received radiation and power output.
To address this issue, we have developed the YGF-2 PV Dust Monitoring System, which applies industry-standard measurement methods to directly evaluate and calculate the soiling loss index caused by dust.
This enables operators to optimize cleaning schedules, avoid unnecessary maintenance costs, and maximize power generation efficiency and plant revenue.
Key Functions
By measuring the soiling ratio (SR), the system converts it in real time into power generation loss, helping PV operators determine when and where cleaning is required.
This reduces operational costs by showing the actual impact of dust on power output and identifying the optimal cleaning threshold, allowing for optimized maintenance cycles.
With 4G/5G wireless communication, data can be transmitted to mobile devices, and the system can also be monitored and controlled remotely.
Working Principle
The YGF-2 utilizes an advanced Optical Soiling Measurement (BOSM) technology, which accurately determines transmission loss (soiling ratio).
The system is equipped with two high-precision sensors, each integrating a blue pulsed LED and photodiode. These components work together to measure the intensity of light reflected from the surface of the glass cover.
By comparing the emitted light intensity with the reflected light intensity, the system calculates the soiling level, providing users with precise optical contamination data.
