Dust and sand on the surface of solar panels can reduce their efficiency enormously, especially in deserted areas. Thanks to the new mechanical robot NOMADD from Saudi Arabia, however, cleaning of panels can now be automated and without a drop of water. In desert environments the sun is strong, but the regular sand storms and the […]
