- magicsmoke 7y agoAlso because sand and dirt buildup on solar panels is a major issue for Saharan countries. Wash it off = waste precious water Mechanical device = Jams in sandstorms Maintenance personnel = Expensive and remote locations There's at least a few startups trying to tackle this problem.
