In the Energy System Designer, you can simulate snow and soiling losses directly using the Solargis model for a more accurate estimation of PV system performance. The model incorporates high-resolution solar resource data tailored to your specific location and system configuration to deliver precise, site-specific results.
You have the flexibility to define your cleaning events based on your planned maintenance schedule, or use the Solargis simulation to identify the months where cleaning is most impactful. Simply select the months you wish to schedule cleaning, and these will be factored into the simulation outcomes.
The model accounts for key variables such as geographic location, panel tilt and environmental conditions, such as temperature and wind conditions.
Accounting for snow and soiling losses has a direct impact on the forecasted energy production, ensuring a more accurate and realistic projection of PV output. This level of precision increases the reliability of the bankable report, providing a solid foundation for securing project funding and reducing the risk of overestimations in financial assessments.
