Startup to use drones to keep clouds away from solar farms, 'Our ultimate goal is to reduce the intensity of severe storms and hurricanes' — chemical-free tech promises up to 30% power boost for $30 to $60 an hour

Meteoric plans to deploy drones and use mechanical action to dissipate low and mid-altitude clouds covering solar power plants. The startup says that it already has a working prototype that cut artificial clouds by 13%, and that its drones are far more economical to fly compared to traditional techniques.
