Solar Panel Cleaning Robot Project Report

In each cycle the robot first moves a certain distance in the direction parallel to the base of the solar panel.

Solar panel cleaning robot project report.

Pv cleaner is an inexpensive autonomous and waterless mechanical device that maximizes solar panel power output while minimizing owner involve men. Industrial cleaning application in large scale solar power plants. 1 3 methodology and implementation in our project we introduce the idea of special robot for pv cleaning specialized in clean solar cell from dirt accumulation as well as to reduce the power loses. The main method for harnessing solar power is with arrays made up of photovoltaic.

There were studies that showed that the accumulated dust can reduce the performance of solar panels but the results were not clearly quantified. It is an autonomous robot that moves on the slanted surface of the solar panels with the help of vacuum suction cups and cleans the surface of the panels with the help of a rotating cylindrical brush. Solar dust cleaning system. This with an affordable price target 350 euros and minimal modifications to the system.

After installing the robot on the solar panel array the power supply is turned on. Solar panel automated cleaning environment matt burke ryan greenough daniel jensen elliot voss department of mechanical engineering santa clara university 2016 abstract the goal of project space is to create an automated solar panel cleaner that will address the adverse impact of soiling on commercial photovoltaic cells. Abstract about project accumulation of dust from the outdoor environment on the panels of solar photovoltaic pv system is natural. Only battery is charged in the day time using a small solar panel which fixed on the top of the robot.

If it is on the right side of the solar panel array it will. The basic details the basic goal of the scrobby solar project is to develop a robot that is able to clean solar panels autonomously. Cleaning robot solar cell panel cn 106000955 a the patent in question is of chinese origin deposited in 2016 it is classified with the ipc s b08b1 04 b08b13 00. Target project devlopment robotics sakil kadri solar dust cleaning system.

As the installation is done in day time even after giving the power supply the robot will not start cleaning. After the dawn the robot will sense the dimming of sun light and checks whether it is right or left and starts cleaning the solar panels.
