The DustVue™10 takes the most trusted method of comparing two solar panels for soiling loss measurements and puts it in one small, easy-to-install sensor package. The reference sensor requires very little cleaning. Even better, no water is needed to clean the panel.

Accumulated dust, snow, and contaminants significantly reduce photovoltaic (PV) power output, ranking as the second most critical factor after irradiance in solar plant performance losses. The DustVue 10:
Precision and Reliability in Soiling Measurement
The DustVue 10 accurately calculates soiling loss by comparing irradiance between the clean reference sensor and soiled detector. The clean reference sensor is kept clean within a dust-free housing that briefly opens at a cadence you select, and only when conditions are ideal to minimize reference sensor soiling. This reduces the need for reference sensor cleaning to semiannually, and the soiling reference sensor cleaning can coincide with the periodic cleaning of all your plant panels.
The DustVue 10 uses collocated PV cells to measure irradiance, minimizing spectral response differences with actual operational PV panels. Irradiance calculations follow IEC 60904 using short-circuit current and cell temperature.
Advanced Technology for Comprehensive Insights
Integrated sensors measure ground-reflected light, allowing precise calculation of rear-side soiling losses. The DustVue 10 uniquely measures front-side, rear-side, and cumulative soiling losses. This makes it an inexpensive choice for bifacial PV module installations.
