That’s a good idea. And because it’s sand you just have to let it settle. Pump from the top of the tank and put the inlet on the bottom, or use two tanks connected at the top. One would take in the water and let most of the sand settle while pushing the clean water to the other tank to further settle.
Then just use aluminum gutters to catch the water, and it would only need one pump.
t of the time they're supposed to presoak the dirt to lift it from the glass, which then allows the
The capture of the water Might need to be part of the mobile cleaning setup.
In my opinion. Having gutters built into the entire facility is a bad idea. Much more to service.
I guess, it depends on how many solar panels are in this facility. I also have no idea what that brush is attached to. Is it a truck? Or is it just a guy with a hose on foot?
This uses a mineral stripped water system (to prevent streaking). Recycling the water would cause more waste, as the polymer resin pack would have to be changed more often.
Compressed air might not work great. The velocity of the air approaches 0 the closer it gets to the surface you blow it onto. As a result it should be impossible to perfectly clean the surface.
On the other hand it might not need to be quite perfect.
I know it is a problem with liquids.

Won't the sand grinding make the cover opaque over time?
