Design of Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning System For Domestic purpose

Abstract

In last decade, there has been tremendous usage of renewable sources in every sector. Recently, Solar panels are widely used for domestic purpose. However, accumulation of dust on solar panel reduces efficiency in energy generation. Moreover, manual regular cleaning of rooftop plant is a very tedious work. Hence, solar panel cleaning seeks attention. So, it is essential to develop an automated cleaning system which cleans panels effectively and eliminating manual interface at economical price. The purpose of the research work is to develop a semi-automatic self-cleaning mechanism for cleaning of the solar panels. So that the cleaning becomes quicker and less tedious thus increasing the power output. In this manuscript, authors have studied different cleaning mechanisms and developed the concept of light weight and low maintenance cleaning system. Author have suggested automatic cleaning system with details of components and cost
