Latest Patents

Ayres is associated with 1 patent, titled “Sensors and Methods for Monitoring Soiling on Monofacial and Bifacial Photovoltaic Panels.” The invention describes systems and methods for monitoring soiling on photovoltaic modules using a sensor with a measure chamber and a clean chamber. Cells in the measure chamber provide readings affected by soiling, while reference cells exposed to incident light outside the clean chamber help establish a clean-output measurement. Comparing these readings makes it possible to determine soiling-related power loss.
