Determination of the Soiling Impact on Photovoltaic Modules at the Coastal Area of the Atacama Desert

Determination of the Soiling Impact on Photovoltaic Modules at the Coastal Area of the Atacama Desert

With an elevation of 1000 m above sea level, once the coastal mountain range is crossed, the Atacama Desert receives the highest levels of solar radiation in the world. Global horizontal irradiations over 2500 kWh/(m<sup>2</sup> year) and a cloudiness index below 3% were determined. Howe...
