Walked through a solar farm in Arizona and noticed how much dust was on the panels

The workers told me they spend 2 hours every morning just hosing them down, and I wondered if there's a better way to handle that without wasting so much water has anyone else seen this at other solar sites?

Hang on, hosing them down every morning sounds like a huge waste. Seems like they could just tilt the panels a bit steeper so rain does the cleaning for them.
