Couldn't you have an automated system for cleaning it?
- bigiain 14y agoI was going to say "Yes", but while searching for another answer, I found this: http://www.google.com/patents/US8240320 http://www.google.com/patents/US8240320 "Disclosed is a method for cleaning solar panels by means of a washing apparatus (1) which can be displaced on the solar panel (2) and applies rinsing water to the surface of the solar panel (2) and washes the surface with the help of washing nozzles and/or brushes. The washing apparatus (1) embraces the solar panel (2) in the edge region in such a way that the washing apparatus (1) is guided in a longitudinally movable way directly on the solar panel (2)." Yeah, cleaning something with water and moving nozzles and brushes. That's pretty novel and un-obvious...
