    🌱 Spring is here—and soiling season is ramping up. At Fracsun, we always stress the importance of deploying soiling stations 𝘯𝘰𝘸 in early Spring. Why? Because as this chart shows, soiling accumulation rates begin rising in the spring. 📈 This rate isn’t the total loss to your plant—it’s the 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 in 𝘀𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴-𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀. Waiting too long to measure means missing the most critical part of the curve. Deploying now ensures you're capturing the full buildup profile, which leads to better insights and smarter decisions when it comes to cleaning, maintenance, and O&M planning. Let’s stay ahead of it. #SoilingMatters #PVPerformance #Fracsun #Innovation #SpringDeployment

    🔎 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘀𝘂𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲—and becoming more powerful every day! Our PV Soiling Data Report is built from real-world measurements using Fracsun’s ARES soiling measurement station, providing invaluable insights into soiling accumulation, cleaning effectiveness, and seasonal trends for your site. Key Highlights of the Report: 📍 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 – Our database continues to grow, allowing us to provide more precise soiling reports tailored to your exact region. These are ground-based measurements. 📊 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 & 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 – Compare clean vs. soiled irradiance, track soiling trends, and measure the effectiveness of natural and manual cleaning events. 🌧 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 – Not all rain cleans your panels! Our data estimates how much rain is actually needed to reset soiling losses. 🌬 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 – See how wind, rain, and seasonal changes impact soiling loss and loss accumulations rates over time with detailed graphs and rolling averages. ⚡ 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿-𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 – Instead of relying on annual averages, we encourage integrating monthly (or even daily) soiling loss data into energy production estimates for greater accuracy. This level of granular, site-specific soiling analysis is something many solar asset owners, O&M teams, and project developers are still learning about. And as our soiling loss database expands daily, this kind of reporting is becoming more accessible than ever. Curious about how soiling is affecting your solar assets?

  • Hidden in Plain Sight: The Challenge of Soiling Loss If only figuring out soiling loss at your solar plant was as easy as blurring your eyes to reveal a hidden message. But in reality, soiling buildup is subtle, complex, and costly—hiding in plain sight until it's too late. At Fracsun, we make the invisible visible with industry-leading soiling stations and AI-powered analysis. Want to see how? Visit us next week at Intersolar North America—Booth #545—and let's talk about maximizing your plant’s performance. 🔎 Can you spot the hidden message in the image?
