Solar Panel Cleaning Robot Design

In this project a novel design is to be develop a accurrent based automatic cleaning of solar panels.

Solar panel cleaning robot design.

Industrial cleaning application in large scale solar power plants. However cleaning solar panels is not always as straightforward. In each cycle the robot first moves a certain distance in the direction parallel to the base of the solar panel. We can clean up to 5 000m2 per day with a single robot and operative.

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. The lithium battery powered robot is capable of working on slopes up to 25 degrees with a variable speed of up to 30 metres per minute. To begin with there is the issue. 4 2 conceptual representation of a design with a horizontal rail and a horizontal brush.

Cleaning is done using specially designed brushes rotating at high speed lifting the dust away from the panels. These cutting edge robots clean both roof and ground mounted solar arrays to a high standard as seen in the video below. A tool is designedbased on the array size and water pumping sprinkling mechanism isdesigned. Indisolar cleaner robots are self powered and automatic.

Ecoppia to deploy cloud based robotic solar panel cleaning solution for over 400 mwp in india developed by fortum november 07 2019 significant extension to fortum s developed projects cements ecoppia s global leadership with over 7gw of awarded projects to date. At preset times the cleaner robot traverses length wise on a rail tube till very end of the panel row and returns to home docking position completing one cycle. The development of a clean ing robot for pv panels matthias kegeleers.
