Trying to come up with a solution for dusty solar panels today, researchers have presented a new technology, simply called dust-cleaning technology, able to increase solar power production.
Most of today’s solar power plants are placed in large sunny areas where rains are very rare. In these places photovoltaic panels get often covered with a layer of dust, so their efficiency decreases.

Photovoltaics (PV) solar electricity is the most elegant method to produce electricity without moving parts, emissions or noise, no water for cooling system and generating no by-products – and all this by converting abundant sunlight without practical limitations.The amount of solar radiation is actually the amount of solar energy that arrives on the earth.The last estimation made by National Renewable Energy Laboratory scientists proves that the entire world’s electrical needs could be supplied if only one percent of the land in the U.S. would be covered with solar panels.
