RE: New Solar Power Concept for Mars

in #mars2 months ago

Vertical panels solve the dust problem. The dust doesn't settle on the panels, it slides down the panel and falls to the ground. The slight wind pressure (thin atmosphere) also helps keep panels clean.

Cleaning panels is a massive maintenance issue in a labour constrained environment on Mars.

My concept solves this major hurdle for solar on Mars.
