To Clean Or Not To Clean...?

Enlighten Energy PV soil monitoring solutions are designed to take the guess work out of when to clean your PV systems....and help you START SAVING !

PV SoilSayer

Before the system is built, state-of-the-art modeling software calculates soiling losses throughout the year to estimate O&M budgets and align PV system performance models with optimal cleaning cycles.

PV Pattern Soiling Pod

After the PV system is constructed, Cell-level measurements provide insight into soiling patterns, accurately measure non-uniform soiling losses, prevent hot spots due to soiling and model soiling losses on a wide variety of different PV technologies.

Soil Monitoring Portal

Web portal monitoring provides easy access to on-site soiling loss measurements, insightful analytics to optimize cleaning cycles and user configurable alerts and alarms.

Step Into the Future....

The PV SoilSayer is a revolutionary new software that helps PV owners and operators estimate cleaning costs well ahead of PV system construction. The PV SoilSayer utilizes advanced computer learning algorithms combined with annual weather data, PV performance models, soiling losses estimations, and system cost trade-offs to calculate the optimal cleaning cycles.

Why PV Soil Monitoring?

Up to 35% energy losses due to soiling in a single month in desert regions
Soiling losses are specific to design, technology and local weather conditions
Non-uniform soiling is a major contributor to hotspot formation and accelerated degradation
Cleaning costs account for up to 30% of total system O&M budget
