'Maybe it’s not science fiction': Solar panels are causing rainwater to fall in one of the driest places on Earth

Solar Panels.

• Dark solar panels turn desert heat into rain clouds, not just electricity
• A 20 square kilometer solar farm produces more rain than a year of cloud seeding
• The Persian Gulf's moist winds are what the desert solar needs to make rain

In the United Arab Emirates, where water is more valuable than oil, new research suggests large solar farms could trigger their own rainstorms.
