A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency. Solar power is expected to reach 10 percent of global power generation by the year 2030, and much of that is likely to be located in desert areas, where sunlight is abundant. But the accumulation of dust on solar […]
