Meteoric reports artificial-cloud test for solar-farm drone concept
Image: Primary Meteoric, a Y Combinator-backed startup, says it has a working prototype that dissipated an artificial cloud by 13% in cloud-chamber tests. The company plans autonomous drones that would fly within low- and mid-altitude clouds near solar farms and mechanically alter water droplets without chemicals. Meteoric's cloud-loss model claims existing solar assets could gain 10% to 30% in annual generation. The source does not identify the method used to dissipate clouds or report field testing over a solar farm.
