Electric football!

I know you guys remember the electric football games from the 1970s. Turn it on and watch the little men "run" across the field, usually in all directions. Getting a touch down was next to impossible as they would seldom travel in a straight line. A similiar vibrating system could be built into solar panels and other critical areas were dust would tend to settle.
