Wind tunnel tests show spacing between panels is key to reduce soiling

Summary by Pv Magazine International

Scientists have placed four PV panels in a 21-meter wind tunnel and run different tests regarding tilt angles, mounting height, spacing, and incoming flow direction. They found that when the spacing between panels exceeds twice the panel height, the mutual influence on dust deposition becomes negligible.Researchers from China’s Ningxia University have investigated dust deposition characteristics on PV panels using a series of wind tunnel experim…

Aerodynamic tunnel testing shows that spacing between solar panels is key to reducing dirt

Chinese scientists have placed four photovoltaic panels in a 21-meter wind tunnel and conducted different tests regarding inclination angles, mounting height, spacing and direction of incoming flow. They discovered that when the spacing between panels exceeds twice the height of the panel, the mutual influence on dust deposition becomes insignificant.Researchers from the Chinese University of Ningxia have investigated the characteristics of dust…
