New England renewables + Canadian hydropower

MIT Energy Initiative

“Hydropower is a more-than-hundred-year-old technology, and plants are already built up north,” says Emil Dimanchev SM ’18. “We might not need to build something new. We might just need to use those plants differently or to a greater extent.”

How to clean solar panels without water

Dust that accumulates on solar panels is a major problem, but washing the panels uses huge amounts of water. MIT engineers have now developed a waterless cleaning method to remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.
