Drones that clear clouds over solar farms

Backed by Y Combinator

How it works

01

Drones deploy near the solar plant

02

Fly into low and mid-altitude clouds

03

Alter the cloud droplets

04

Reduce cloud reflectivity

05

Allow more sunlight to reach the solar panels

No chemicals
No new infrastructure
Measurable output increase
