60Hertz Inc. was awarded a $295,808 Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Small Business Innovation Research Program to develop an early warning system for soiling on solar energy assets. The company will use aerosol optical depth measurements from GOES-R ABI and on-site data to cue validation of soiling station and meteorological station data. This aims to help solar service companies move from reactive to proactive maintenance by identifying in advance when particulate matter cleaning may be needed. 60Hertz will create algorithms and software tools fusing these public and private data sets with additional factors to hasten decision-making around cleaning or protecting renewable energy generation assets threatened by weather impacts. Machine learning will be applied to explore correlational and causal relationships in the data that could support the warning system. The work will be performed in Anchorage, Alaska and is scheduled for completion by February 28, 2023.
