Forecast how dirty panels on solar farms will get based on surrounding conditions
Compute optimal time to wash the panels (which is very expensive) versus electricity lost from soiling
Data Sets and Models
Particulate matter trends from EPA
Weather history from NOAA interpolated over a grid over the entire USA
Output and Benefits
Saves $MMs per year per solar farm in reduced washing costs and increased power generation
Better for environment in terms of water usage
Fused Air Quality Surface Using Downscaling
Modeled vs Actual Soiling Loss
