I have a noob question:
Building solar in the desert makes sense because there is a lot of sun-supply. But I see two obstacles and I don't know how there a dealt with:
heat: solar gets less effective with heat. --> do the panels require cooling? If yes, how?
sand everywhere. Sand will probably cover up parts of the panels reducing efficiency. Using water sounds wasteful --> How do they clean the panels?
