Solar PV – Soiling, Cleaning Strategy & Loss Breakdown

UAE | Solar PV | Utility / large C&I
The asset had seasonal underperformance where cleaning schedules were not aligned with actual loss patterns, leading to unnecessary O&M cost and unclear PR variance.

What we did

  • Introduced loss tree reporting (soiling vs. clipping vs. downtime vs. curtailment)
  • Calibrated a cleaning strategy aligned to seasonal dust and performance deltas
  • Defined acceptance thresholds for post-clean performance verification

Outcome

  • Clearer justification for cleaning frequency and cost control
  • Better stability in PR reporting and fewer “unexplained dips”
