Reduced losses KAUST King Abdullah University of Science and Technology * Modified EVA. improved thermal encapsulation 9
10 Dust: Revise your O&M clacs The drop in solar energy efficiency over 3 months without cleaning was measured between 30-45%. The decrease in solar energy efficiency due to dust storms was measured to be 60%. Dust effect on performance varies per location and per technology Needed models for recommended frequency of cleaning KAUST King Abdullah University of Science and Technology 10
11 Dust: Dust Mitigation Initiative 1 st Understand & quantify the impact of soiling on regionspecific solar technology performance. 2 nd Evaluate & develop different dust mitigation solutions to reduce cleaning frequency for both existing & emerging technologies. 3 rd Develop an optimum site & technology-specific cleaning schedule based on various cleaning methods. 4 th Develop a dust prediction model for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

19 Dust: Performance impact on PV Irregular particle shapes Particle-to-surface interaction and particle charge upon contact Detailed study on local dust characteristics Dust deposition rate on solar surfaces is approximately 12.5g/cm 2 / month in Thuwal Saudi Arabia. 19
20 Cleaning OPEX for 2 MW Roof top at KAUST Total system cleaning duration/week is 15 hours/week at approximately 3 hours of cleaning/day Detergent usage is biweekly (5L of glass cleaner/month) amounts to SR100/month Water flow rate is ca 1 m 3 /hr at SR6/m 3 cost of water 4 workers/day at SR3,000/month/worker Project manager wage is 4,000/month Total wages amount to SR16,000/month Total monthly material amounts to SR550/month Total monthly cost to clean 2MW solar rooftop panels at KAUST is ca SR16,550/month About 53,000 $US per year for cleaning only KAUST King Abdullah University of Science and Technology 20
21 Summary The drop in system efficiency has been measured to be 8-15% per month due to dust accumulation; Dust deposition rate on solar surfaces is approximately 12.5g/cm 2 / month; Dust deposition rate at ground level & building rooftops prove to be identical; Need to include MENA environmental conditions in existing standards; There are solutions to dust that are practical; PV module manufacturers need to consider a desert module.
