Design & Manufacturing of Solar Panels Cleaning System

Abstract
The Solar Panels Farms are generally situated in dirt and dust areas which is mostly in case of tropical countries. The performance of solar panels depends on various factors, the power generated by farm can decreased if there is dust and dirt on panels and this is the main factor for reduction. One can generally assume a reduction of about 40% - 50%, if the panels are not clean properly for 1-2 months. So to overcome this problem and to increase the efficiency of power production cleaning of module on regular basis is necessary. To clean the dust, an automatic cleaning robot is developed, which will clean the panels on regular interval of time. The mechanism is based on control circuit, DC motor; microfiber (bristles) to clean the panels. The paper provides you with the idea how the robot will work and its effect on the energy production by solar farms. It will also to help to understand the problem arise due to not cleaning of solar cells.
