In MENA regions, dust accumulation is a constant operational
challenge. Fine sand particles, frequent dust events and low
rainfall lead to rapid soiling of PV modules, causing measurable
energy losses within weeks after installation or cleaning.
Delayed cleaning in desert environments increases thermal
stress and surface wear, especially when fine sand interacts
with dew or humidity. Regular automated cleaning helps mitigate
these risks and support long-term module reliability.
The result is more stable performance, lower operational risk,
and improved bankability for long-term forecasts (P50/P90).

lead to persistent residual losses — commonly on the order of ~6% over
