2.Cleaning Labor Cost

3.Lot of Water use

Pains
What are the Pains Solved to customers?
1.Main Pain: degradation (decrease) in solar energy generation due to dust
accumulation on surface of panels by 20%-50%.
Ex: 40% loss in PV production in Jordan
Source: PV soiling loss in the Middle East Region-DDSOLAR

Secondary pains (for competitive cleaning systems):

2.High labor costs
3.Huge amounts of water are used to clean the panels (where water is
valuable in desert)

Testing, R&D Phase

Scope of work:
A. Design Development (suggesting different design concepts) evaluating and testing
each.
B. The testing of this technology should include:
1. Efficiency of Cleaning (Know optimum frequency/wave)
2. Tolerance to High Temperature
3. Tolerance to High Humidity
4. Durability of Vibration times
5. Reliability

Deliverables:
1. Test reports for each of the parameters mentioned in the Scope above.
2. Full report showing the explanation for the results recorded in the tests, and
suggest methods/solutions to improve these readings.
3. Design Development of this technology (Material, Thickness, Mounting,...)
