Since it doesn’t rain much in the desert who is going to clean off all the dust and sand that will accumulate on the solar panels further reducing their efficiency?

They have this problem in Arizona, so cal, hell even west Texas etc. they work cleaning them into the economics. It’s part of the O&M and accumulated soiling between cleaning is part of the production modeling.
