N2 - An indoor soil deposition chamber has been designed and constructed at the Arizona State University Photovoltaic Reliability Lab (ASU-PRL) to simulate photovoltaic (PV) module soiling in the field. This paper discusses the next set of revisions to the design, which are organized into three categories: design improvements, cost reduction, and new features. The design process was carried out with the intention of working toward the development of a national or international soiling standard. The improvements made to the chamber are described in detail to provide a guide for other laboratories or research facilities who wish to study photovoltaic (PV) soiling.
