PV soiling monitoring DUST IQ
DustIQ measur a solar panel dirt.
• Optimal choice of time for cleaning solar panels and consequently their efficiency
• New technology that does not need the sun to operate
• Easy installation: on the side or in the middle of the solar panels
• Panel (990 x 160 mm) meets the standards of solar panels
• Allows multiple measuring points
• 24/7 measurements with 1 minute interval
• Can be upgraded with temperature sensor
• Cost effective solution
DustIQ doesn't require any maintenance as it is based on an optical sensor with no moving parts.
The included software allows you to control the loss of power due to dirt that accumulates on the panels. This information allows you to choose the optimal time for cleaning the panels.
