I once (around 2010) worked with a nasa designed system for electrically clearing solar panels. It was basically a 3-phase arrangement of transparent indium tin oxide electrodes on the surface of the panels. By supplying high voltage AC, both conductive and insulating particles can be removed by various mechanisms. I thought it worked quite well and keep expecting to see it in the wild somewhere. Maybe it's still in the pipeline somewhere.
