How dusty? The Schneider XW I use very often has an input air filter and is mostly convection cooled if the loads are low. The low voltage mppt has no fan at all. I am sure the radian is good in a hot environment but nothing is better than an XW, and proven in the deserts since 2006.
I have in the past for under the house basements with dirt floors, used Linseed Oil sprayed on the dirt. It forms a very nice barrier to the dirt and keeps the dust way down. I learned this from my Grandfather who was a gold miner up here in the Sierra. If this is done right, with multiple coats, one can make a floor that can be mopped and kept clean in a kitchen environment. Friday! Good Luck!
