Quantifying Soiling Impact on PV Performance

The MBMet-700 Series Soiling Monitoring Stations provide precise measurement of soiling-related losses on photovoltaic (PV) panels. By calculating key metrics like the Soiling Ratio and Soiling Loss Index, the system enables O&M teams to monitor loss in generation due to dust, pollution, and particulate accumulation—factors that directly affect energy yield and efficiency.
Designed for Utility and Rooftop Installations
Whether deployed in utility-scale solar farms or rooftop PV projects, the MBMet-700 system supports both environments with flexible mounting, robust components, and scalable integration options. It’s engineered for outdoor exposure in remote or grid-connected solar assets, delivering actionable data for scheduling cleaning and optimizing panel performance.
Monitoring with Multi-Channel Communication
The system offers seamless integration with solar SCADA and monitoring tools through multiple communication protocols, including Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, FTP, SNTP, and cellular connectivity. Equipped with real-time data processing, configurable alerts, and historical data storage, MBMet-700 ensures continuity, transparency, and analytics-readiness for PV operators.
