Solar panels’ production is greatly reduced when dust accumulates on them, therefore they must be maintained clean. But what is the best approach to go about it? Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) believe they have found a solution, Electrek reports. Spraying water on solar panels is one of the most frequent techniques …
Scientists Discovered a Technique to Clean Solar Panels without Water Read More »
A group of specialists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has proposed a new way to clean the surface of solar panels from dust. This method does not require water at all, which is important because the dust layer gradually reduces the current source’s power. The advantages of renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly recognized …

Solar panels typically generate surplus heat while creating green energy, which is then wasted. Now, scientists have discovered a method to utilize those valuable leftovers to offer power generators a second purpose: extracting water out of thin air, thanks to a new, unique design, Cnet writes. The self-contained device works by laying solar panels over …
