Having an automated cleaning system that cleans the solar panel periodically will help in ensuring that solar panel performances well by giving a high output. The self cleaning system will also make the process of cleaning the solar panels easy as the cleaner is installed on it, while can also be operated manually. 8
The system is controlled by a computer program, which directs the robotic arm to move along the surface of the panels and clean them using the brushes and nozzles. It was found that these systems are effective at removing debris from solar panels due to the use of brushes and nozzles.
Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ( (LNME)) The solar PV panel is an attractive alternative among all other energy sources for electricity generation. The deposition of dust and stains can considerably decrease the effectiveness of the PV panel. Thus, the cleaning of the PV panel is essential.
The cleaning mechanism should be able to remove dirt, dust, and debris from the surface of the solar panel without causing any damage. The use of different cleaning mechanisms, such as brushes, wipers, or air blowers, can be explored based on the type of solar panel and the type of debris to be removed.
In summary, the design considerations for a solar panel cleaning robot include the cleaning mechanism, mobility, power supply, control system, and safety. By considering these factors, designers can create effective and safe solar panel cleaning robots. Figure 2.1 shows the summary of the design considerations of a solar panel cleaning robot.
In the manual cleaning technique, the PV module’s front surface is cleaned manually with mops, wipers, water jetting, or detergent/water rinsing. Manual cleaning is the best-suited method for small-scale solar PV plants. The significant problems in these methods are the consumption of water and power by the water pumping system.
The researchers proposed that this technique is suitable for high irradiation, dust storms, and ambient temperature regions. The result shows that this technique improves the PV productivity in two ways as it decreases the PV panel’s temperature and the PV panel’s surface cleaning.
Having an automated cleaning system that cleans the solar panel periodically will help in ensuring that solar panel performances well by giving a high output. The self cleaning system will also make the process of cleaning the solar panels easy as the cleaner is installed on it, while can also be operated manually. 8
