The sand can even be transported as far as the Caribbean. The sand deposited that day was due to light rain, causing the soiling deposits to be shaped like droplets rather than a nice homogenous layer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2c0e8a2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2c0e8a2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ec39b2\" data-id=\"6ec39b2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6118010 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6118010\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the office my colleagues where already discussing the soiling they saw on their cars that morning.

The soiled panel was carefully covered with a foil to prevent an incoming thunderstorm from influencing the soiling layer. This might be the first time that a soiled solar panel has been treasured in such a way! The transmission loss measurement of the solar panels was repeated and confirmed the loss as 1.0%.<\/p><p>This unique incidence provided an exceptional chance to field test a DustIQ at the Kipp &amp; Zonen headquarters in Delft with an unusual amount of soiling for this time a year and at this location.
