Solar in the Desert Why water-free cleaning robots make economic sense

摘要

With global solar adoption rates increasing rapidly - 55 GW is expected to be installed this year alone - there are still a number of obstacles the solar industry needs to tackle before it can become a larger portion of the energy mix. As panel prices have bottomed out in recent years, there has been an increasing interest in reducing "soft costs" to further lower the price hurdles of solar power. These costs include customer acquisition, permitting, supply chain logistics, financing, installation, labor, operations, and maintenance.
