Photovoltaic plants don’t always produce their maximum power, not only because of weather conditions but also due to other types of losses. These losses are caused by a soil or dirt, vegetation throwing a shade on top of the panel, or a low-standing sun shining in between the panels and causing inter-array shading. To optimize the power production of PV plants, 3E wants to identify these effects in an early stage and quantify the production losses.
