I dont get why they dont a solar pannel compressor that blows away the dust through small nossles put around the pannel.Cant be so hard to do?

Mars air is carbon dioxide and it is compresseble like air on earth.

It would blow away the dust on the pannels.

EDIT:i saw looked it up on a Nasa site and they had have thought about it and other ideas.

they can do it with compressors driven by the change of tempature of night and day.

And there was ideas of wipers,drones blowing away the dust,tilting the panels,vibrating the panels with like phone vibrators but it said that they not going to put more effort in this because they going nuklear power in future.

Just google compressed air on solar panels rovers.
