摘要: Anti-reflective coatings (ARC) are commonly used within the solar industry as a means to increase overall photovoltaic (PV) module efficiency. A PV with ARC will light absorption, allowing for enhanced performance when compared modules without ARC. Beyond increasing efficiency by can provide additional benefits due environmental interactions non-ARC modules. common consideration utility-scale plant is impact of soiling accumulation on performance. With widespread adoption comes an opportunity understand and quantify both Modules during field deployment. In this study we show how soil rates vary between First Solar CdTe in various climatic regions North South America. Results suggest that up 60 percent anti-soiling rate reduction benefit throughout year
