PVRADAR soiling integration within PlantPredict

Terabase PlantPredict is a leading platform for layout optimization and energy yield prediction. Through the Soiling & Cleaning Extension, users can now import daily soiling loss factors right into their prediction.

Import site-specific soiling loss factors right into your prediction
Daily or monthly soiling loss factors based on 20 years of historic data
Compare different technologies and optimize cleaning schedules to minimize cost

Soiling Extension for Daily Soiling and Cleaning Optimization

The Soiling Extension connects PlantPredict directly to PVRADAR, allowing users to import daily soiling loss factors for any Prediction. Additionally, users can optimize cleaning strategies and improve overall project value.

Enhance Your Yield Estimation with Daily Soiling Insights

Daily-resolution soiling loss factors for more detailed and accurate performance assessments
Results derived from 20 years of historical meteorological data, improving long-term soiling behavior representation
Estimates include hard-soiling conditions, accounting for the organic fraction of contaminants that are not removed by rainfall

Optimize cleaning cost and reduce soiling losses

Cleaning is an investment. Find the right balance between soiling reduction and OPEX budgets
Decide how often and when to clean based on site-specific historic precipitation patterns
Compare all possible options: tractor plus brush, semi- and fully-autonomous cleaning robots, dry and wet

From your prediction to an accurate soiling loss estimation in under 5 minutes

Within PlantPredict, click on the PVRADAR Soiling Extension (in Pro Tools)
You are redirected to PVRADAR. Select the prediction you are working on from the list
Review soiling modeling results
Optimize the cleaning strategy based on your preferences
Once you are done, the daily soiling profile is automatically applied to the prediction weather file in PlantPredict
Print a PDF report including a summary of all data-sources, model parameters and results

Select the Best Option for You

PVRADAR offers two integrated solutions within Terabase PlantPredict, designed for different levels of analysis and workflow needs:

1. Soiling API — Included with PlantPredict Pro

Access monthly soiling loss factors directly inside PlantPredict using a single click.

Ideal for quick estimations during early-stage design, feasibility assessments, and energy-yield predictions.

2. Soiling Extension — Subscription required

Connect your PlantPredict predictions to PVRADAR for high-resolution daily soiling profiles and cleaning optimization.

Designed for users who require greater accuracy, long-term soiling trends and detailed cleaning planning.
