Solar Panel Cleaning Robot Project Report

Abstract about project accumulation of dust from the outdoor environment on the panels of solar photovoltaic pv system is natural.

Solar panel cleaning robot project report.

The main method for harnessing solar power is with arrays made up of photovoltaic. In this project we are trying to clean the solar panel and clean the dust of solar panel by using electromechanical shaft due to which the solar panel cleaning will be done and the efficiency of the solar panel will be increases due to which the output of the solar panel increases and it make the energy efficient solar panel. 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. As the installation is done in day time even after giving the power supply the robot will not start cleaning.

The basic details the basic goal of the scrobby solar project is to develop a robot that is able to clean solar panels autonomously. After installing the robot on the solar panel array the power supply is turned on. This with an affordable price target 350 euros and minimal modifications to the system. If it is on the right side of the solar panel array it will.

Industrial cleaning application in large scale solar power plants. Pv cleaner is an inexpensive autonomous and waterless mechanical device that maximizes solar panel power output while minimizing owner involve men. There were studies that showed that the accumulated dust can reduce the performance of solar panels but the results were not clearly quantified. 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.

With growing costs of electricity and concern for the environmental impact of fossil fuels implementation of eco friendly energy sources like solar power are rising. 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. 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. 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.

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