Using electrostatic repulsion to clean solar panels, avoiding up to 30% power loss

        March 23, 2022 Energy Post | Global | renewables: solar

Many solar farms are located in the desert where collected sand reduces output. Water is a standard cleaning solution but non-contact electrostatic repulsion can also be applied robotically to recover up to 95% of lost output and reduce a global freshwater footprint of 30 billion gallons per year.
