Performance optimisation

Turn soiling data into better cleaning decisions.

Cleaning more often does not always mean better returns. SolarOZ combines weather context, soiling-loss assessment and cost analysis to help determine when, where and how a PV plant should be cleaned.

Yield improvement meets cost control
Cleaning decisions shaped around the site—not a fixed schedule.
01 / CONTEXT

Weather & rainfall

Understand how local conditions, rainfall and the site's environment influence accumulation and recovery.

02 / MEASURE

Soiling-loss assessment

Use available plant information and measurements to estimate when soiling is affecting output.

03 / DECIDE

Cost-aware strategy

Compare labour, water, equipment and operational impacts before setting a cleaning approach.

A site-specific cleaning strategy can ask

  • When is the expected recovered yield worth the cleaning cost?
  • Which areas or blocks need attention first?
  • How should rainfall and forecast conditions affect timing?
  • Would robotic cleaning, manual cleaning or a combination fit the site?
  • How can cleaning outcomes be checked after implementation?
