As part of smart systems applications for solar panel cleaning, a key characteristic will be the combination of their essential functions in providing timely monitoring and device management as a solution for improving the efficiency of solar plants.
Smart systems enhanced by internet connection are integrated into solar panel cleaning to improve the performance of autonomous cleaning methods. This will make the system intelligent to monitor the remote solar panel. It can detect dirty conditions and activate its removal from the solar panel surface without human control.
Powered Lift and Shift – This solar panel cleaning system is great for utility-scale installations where a tractor cannot be used or the ground is pure sand like in the Sahara or Atacama desert. With this solution, the operators fix the robot to several arrays and simultaneously move them down the array.
This process has been automatized since cleaning with manual brushes and water is incredibly time- and labor-consuming and costly for industrial solar installations . An automated cleaning system for solar panels is composed of an autonomous unit using sensors and controllers and a cleaning mechanism unit that can be watered or waterless.
The findings of other reviews of smart systems for solar panels are consistent with the observation that smart systems for solar panel monitoring and maintenance are effective. The ability to visualize the solar panel dirt conditions can be instrumental in optimizing the cleaning time and operation.
The current status of smart system integration in solar panel monitoring and cleaning is summarized in this review. Through the proposed harmonized data structures, future assessments can be more efficiently planned and integrated by showing what data have already been used and what data can be used in the future.
