Every day the dust settles on thousands of square kilometres of solar panels around the world, cutting the amount of electricity they produce. A robot designed by an Israeli start-up can autonomously clean rooftop solar panels that other cleaning robots can\u2019t access, increasing the panels\u2019 electricity generation by as much as 15 per cent.<\/p>\n

Autonomous robots are widely used to clean large-scale solar arrays on the ground. Many work by sliding along rails to wipe dust, bird \u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
