This automated cleaning system for solar panels helps to facilitate the process of cleaning dust from the surfaces of solar panels for all photovoltaic installation applications. For this design, we have developed a cleaning device that moves along the length of a solar panel and can move on to clean an entire row of solar panels in a PV array.
Manual cleaning of large solar installations is often labor-intensive and time-consuming, primarily due to the accumulation of dust on solar panels, which significantly impairs their efficiency. The study introduces a novel, waterless, cost-effective automatic cleaning system for small solar panels.
The existing automatic cleaning systems of solar panels are various and can be categorized into two main types: i) active, and ii) passive cleaning systems. Active systems require power for self-cleaning methods, such as electrostatic and mechanical methods.
This research presents automatic water and dust detector cleaning system for the solar panel. The functional PV system can work automatically and can deliver input of occurrence of detecting water and dust. we will address the technique, approach, and framework design of the cleaning and tracking system.
