Solar energy has emerged as a prominent renewable energy source, with solar farms harnessing the power of the sun to generate clean electricity. While traditional photovoltaic (PV) solar farms do not directly use water in their electricity generation process, certain solar technologies and maintenance practices may involve water usage. In this article, we delve into the reasons why some solar farms use water and explore the various applications where water is employed in solar energy generation.

Tips for Cleaning Solar Panels
The overall efficiency of your
solar power system is going to be determined by the amount of direct sunlight
that your solar panels can access. If your panels are covered in bird
droppings, pollen, shadowed by large trees, or have dirt accumulated on them, the
system is potentially not going to operate with maximum power. When solar panels are dirty, they can lose up to 25% of their
energy. Under normal circumstances, with rain or snowfall, panels will be cleaned
naturally. In some areas, however, especially areas with little rain or snow,
it’s important to find a way to safely keep them clean.
