A significant problem that I didn’t realize until I installed my solar panels is that they&nbsp; can be difficult to keep clean.&nbsp; I have a problem here in Oregon with tree pollen.&nbsp; Hopefully they don’t have dust storms <span>[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-91218c98-1315-47b0-b46b-d7c933090966/contentimage_5F00_2.png:16:16]</span>.&nbsp; And they must lose a lot of capacity due to the high ambient temperature.&nbsp; I’m sure they have factored in all those issues in their design.&nbsp; I’d like to see more large scale solar in the US.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7415&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">RE: The world’s largest solar power plant is now fully operational in UAEhttps://community.element14.com/technologies/power-management/b/blog/posts/the-world-s-largest-solar-power-plant-is-now-fully-operational-in-uaeTue, 09 Jul 2019 09:20:06 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:91218c98-1315-47b0-b46b-d7c933090966dubbie1<p>It is very interesting to see these really large solar panel systems being implemented, especially when there is so much sunshine available. I recently returned from south Spain and there was barely a solar panel in side - yet plenty of sunshine. Yet I can walk down my own road and see solar panel installations on many houses.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dubbie</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7415&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
