MIT researchers have created ultra-thin solar panels with sticker backs allowing you to stick them anywhere you need immediate power. They deliver 18 times as much power per kilogram as traditional solar panels and can be used in more places with less set up. These ultra-portable panels can make the difference in remote regions where emergencies require more power. | Mashable

A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency. Read more about how the new system uses electrostatic repulsion to cause dust particles to detach and virtually leap off the panel’s surface, without the need for water or brushes. http://mitsha.re/caUj50IiA8R Video: Melanie Gonick/MIT | Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
