[Challenging] What is the impact of soiling on PV performance?

[kandersolar]

Step 1 - Retrieve daily rainfall data for 2022 from PRISM for Salt Lake City, UT, USA.

Step 2 - Retrieve irradiance data for 2022 from the NSRDB using pvgis for Salt Lake City, UT, USA

Step 3 - Calculate soiling using the Kimber model

Step 4 - Calculate PV power output with and without soiling for a ground-based fixed tilt system in Salt Lake City, UT, USA.

Step 5 - Generate a CDF of soiling losses and determine the mean, median, and 95th percentiles.
