Abstract

The effects of deposition of dust (soiling) on photovoltaic (PV) modules, mainly on their energy production, is a topic that is gaining importance, related to the increase in PV installations in very sunny arid areas and, therefore, which theoretically lead to higher energy production. Due to the multitude of influent factors regarding soiling experiments, the use of a climatic chamber dedicated to the study of soiling is a subject of great interest.
