The DustVue™20 takes the innovative design of the DustVue 10 one step further by combining with the soiling loss measurement on an isolated, full-production-size PV panel using the maximum power method. While this is a powerful sensor solution, the DustVue 20 is compact and virtually maintenance free with no water needed for cleaning.

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 20:
Precision and Reliability in Soiling Measurement
The DustVue 20 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 20 employs a full-size PV module as the test device, calculating soiling loss via comprehensive IV curve measurements per IEC 61724-1 standards. This approach ensures accurate determination of maximum power and precise quantification of losses.
Advanced Technology for Comprehensive Insights
Integrated sensors measure ground-reflected light, allowing precise calculation of rear-side soiling losses. The DustVue 20 uniquely measures front-side, rear-side, and cumulative soiling losses. This makes it the most inexpensive choice for bifacial PV module installations.
Designed for Simplicity and Accuracy
The DustVue 20 is delivered field-ready, requiring no programming:
