Introdução
At the heart of the DustLV photovoltaic module pollution status monitor lies its built-in high-precision optical sensor, which continuously captures changes in the intensity of reflected and scattered light on glass surfaces around the clock. These subtle changes in light signals are key indicators of the level of dust accumulation on the panels. By combining this with short-wavelength blue light measurement technology, DustLV can accurately calculate a dust accumulation index, enabling real-time, precise monitoring of the cleanliness status of photovoltaic panels.
When the dust index reaches a preset safety threshold, the DustLV dust monitoring system automatically triggers an alarm, immediately alerting the O&M team at the solar power plant. This means that O&M personnel no longer need to rely on cumbersome manual inspections to monitor the cleanliness of the modules. Instead, they can easily track their condition, ensuring cleaning operations are performed at the optimal time and effectively preventing dust accumulation from negatively impacting power generation efficiency.
