General Considerations
摘要
This chapter evaluates the influence of soiling and manual cleaning strategies on the performance of photovoltaic systems in an urban environment. Data analysis from the LEA2 plant shows that anthropogenic factors and seasonal climatic conditions impact contaminant deposition and performance losses in LEA2. The results indicate that natural precipitation is not sufficient to completely clean the modules, especially during dry periods, reinforcing the need for cleaning schedules adjusted to seasonal conditions.
