Waterless cleaning of solar modules

Water crisis is causing problems worldwide more so in the times of the coronavirus pandemic when frequently washing hands and maintaining cleanliness is one important precaution to keep the deadly virus at bay. Ironically, water is not available, as per the needs, in a large part of the country not just for people but also for industries.

According to a Bridge To India report, 60% of the water used in the solar sector for panel cleaning is sourced from ground through borewells, while the remaining requirement is met through surface water sources such as rivers, canals and lakes.
