The power of the sun is nothing short of incredible: it produces 430 quintillion Joules of energy each hour. The amount of energy humans use in a year is 410 quintillion Joules! If we can harness even a fraction of this, we can substantially reduce our dependency on other, less sustainable forms of energy.

Technology continues to advance, helping us capture this powerful - and renewable - resource. Keeping solar panels clean ensures they do this as effectively and efficiently as possible.
