Cell Wash product photo with text highlighting automatic washing and no maintenance soiling measurement functionality

Highlights:

  • The cell washing system automatically keeps your RC22 PV Reference Cells clean
  • Automatic water spray operated from a low-power pumping system washes away soiling particles
  • The system can be used as a standalone soiling measurement station – automatically calculating Soiling Ratio by comparing a clean and soiled RC22 reference cell pair – or as an accessory to RDE300i-based systems to ensure reference cells are clean
  • Optional configurations support washing both rear-side and front-side PV reference cells with one system – for either monofacial or bifacial PV arrays

Configuration Options

  • Configuration options support different numbers of clean and soiled PV reference cells, including front and rear
  • Can be used standalone or as RDE300i accessory powered by the RDE300i AUX port

Outputs:

  • Clean PV Cell Irradiance
  • Soiled PV Cell Irradiance
  • Soiling Ratio

Applications:

  • Soiling measurement
  • Irradiance measurement with automatic cleaning
  • Clean irradiance measurement for RDE300i-based soiling measurement or performance and degradation measurement systems
