Provides a transparent Electrodynamic Screen (EDS™) technology as a non-contact overlay for solar panels, automatically removing over 90% of dust without water or manual labor. This system restores more than 95% of lost energy output in arid regions, reducing annual energy yield losses exceeding 50% while saving over 14 billion liters of potable water. The EDS enables solar plants to operate at maximum efficiency, cutting cleaning costs and minimizing environmental impact.

Problem
Solar power plants in arid and semi-arid regions face significant energy production losses due to dust accumulation on solar collectors. Traditional cleaning methods are water-intensive, costly, and labor-dependent, posing environmental and economic challenges.
Solution
Sol Clarity offers an Electrodynamic Screen (EDS™) technology that serves as a transparent, non-contact overlay for solar panels, automatically removing dust without water or manual labor. The EDS™ system restores energy yield by eliminating dust buildup, which can decrease a solar plant's energy yield by more than 50% per year in arid regions. This water-free solution reduces the carbon footprint associated with water transportation and eliminates the need for manual cleaning, enabling solar plants to operate at maximum efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. The technology can be integrated into the glass manufacturing process, PV module manufacturing process, and as a retrofit to existing solar installations.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes solar power plant operators and asset managers in arid and semi-arid regions seeking to maximize energy production, reduce operational costs, and minimize environmental impact.
