Scientists think that the energy problem on Mars can be solved with solar energy. However, dust storms will reduce efficiency. If a mechanism is established to clean the dust at certain intervals, it may be useful. Another solution. Dust particles should slide on the materials to be used and fall to the ground.

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.
