SOLAR STORM STUDY
Scientists are borrowing a NASA dust-zapping trick to keep solar panels cleaner in dusty places like the American Southwest, India, and the Sahel, and the payoff could be cheaper power with less water and laborSolar power is growing, but dust significantly reduces panel efficiency. A startup, Clear Solar, is using technology developed for Mars rov...
