Has anyone done this or want to talk about doing this?
Run water/glycol through tube on backside of solar panel, use heat pump to cool down solar panel so much that humidity from local air condenses onto the solar panel, if mounted at an angle, it drips off, taking dirt with it. It would even increase PV yield due to temperature coefficient curve.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's the best way to clean a photovoltaic panel on a roof.
