Soiling & Cleaning App

De-risking soiling from day 1 of development

The Soiling & Cleaning App allows developers to quantify and optimize soiling risk from the earliest project stages. Assess site-specific conditions, select the most economically efficient cleaning strategy, and protect yield before construction begins.

Enhance your yield estimation with daily soiling insights
  • Daily-resolution soiling loss factors for more accurate performance assessments.
  • Based on 20 years of historical meteorological data, including weather station measurements to ensure realistic site representation.
  • Accounts for hard-soiling conditions, incorporating the organic fraction of contaminants not completely removed by rainfall.
Optimize cleaning cost and mitigate 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.
Defend your results in front of stakeholders
  • Easily generate comprehensive PDF reports in just one click.
  • Clearly summarize all assumptions, methodologies, and key results for full transparency.
  • Share structured, decision-ready insights across teams and external partners.
