"The Hidden Costs of Dirty Solar Panels" Drone Force USA Launches Autonomous Cleaning Fleet to Save Solar Farms from Hidden Energy Losses Across dusty, dry regions like Arizona and West Texas, solar farms are quietly losing up to 30% of their output. NREL and IEA confirm that grime buildup—even invisible—can slash performance, leading to millions in unrealized energy sales. Labor crews can’t clean fast enough, often costing $15–$22 per panel and missing optimal timing. Drone Force USA is changing that with fully autonomous drones that clean at night, reduce water waste, eliminate insurance risk, and drop the cost to $5 per panel. Even better? Users gain 24/7 uptime and reclaim lost energy with zero setup time.
