Design and Development of Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning System

Abstract

In today's scenario renewable sources are widely used to generate electricity in that solar energy plays a vital role. Efficiency of Solar Panel decrease tremendously when dust particle get deposited on it. In Order to maintain efficiency in power generation through solar panel, regularly cleaning of solar panel is necessary.There are various methods of cleaning,out of this method most of them are manual only. This meth- ods are not so efficient and require more amount of labour work so this very hectic. In this dissertation, method that we are developing is fully automatic in which we are using moving brush which rotates on its own axis which is found to be most preferable as per our constraints and situation, and that will be controlled by micro controller. This seems in increasing efficiency of solar panel by regular cleaning at regular interval of time.
