Soiling-Loss Panel Efficiency Evaluation in Point Loma, California

Common Challenges

• Salt and coastal dust reduce output

  Salt and coastal dust form films on panel glass in Point Loma, lowering daily energy and masking system faults.

• Shading hides underperforming modules

  Partial shade on array sections skews output readings, letting failing modules go unnoticed until production drops further.

• No baseline data for production drops

  Without a basic output check, homeowners can't quantify soiling loss or shading impact, delaying the right corrective work.

How We Help

• Measured soiling loss estimate (%)

  We compare expected vs measured output to calculate percent loss from soiling and shading for clear decision-making.

• Targeted module identification

  On-site output checks flag specific underperforming modules or array sections for focused cleaning or diagnostics.

• Optimized cleaning schedule

  Soiling loss estimates guide how often to schedule deionized rinses and soft-brush washes to reduce repeated soiling.

• Advice for coastal conditions

  Recommendations include timing and rinses that address salt-spray, high UV, and ocean-influenced humidity effects.
