- •
We develop a cost-effective system that fosters monitoring PV performance in harsh environments.
- •
PV efficiency drops by 30% over a dust exposure of five months in Doha.
- •
Our system enables predicting cleaning need and frequency of PV panels for a reliable solar PV.
- •
PV performance metrics can be monitored and processed ubiquitously using cloud data logging.
