Cleaning without water
This work develops a sustainable electrostatic cleaning method for solar panels in desert regions, enabling removal of sand without water or harsh chemicals. Analyses show this method effectively restores PV efficiency, reduces power loss, and offers cost savings, especially in manual use, making it an eco-friendly alternative for large-scale solarenergy production.
