Problem Statement

Solar panels generate clean electricity, but dust and heat reduce their efficiency and output. An automatic, low-cost cleaning system is needed to remove dirt and keep panels working efficiently and safely.

Abstract

Solar panels are used to produce clean electricity, but their performance decreases when dust and dirt collect on the surface. Dust blocks sunlight and makes the panel hot, which reduces electricity production and can affect the life of the panel. In many rural and industrial areas, cleaning solar panels by hand is difficult, takes time, and may be unsafe. So, there is a need for a low-cost automatic solar cleaning machine that can remove dust and keep the panel working efficiently.

Objective

To design and make an automatic solar panel cleaning machine.
To clean dust and dirt from the panel surface regularly.
To help reduce panel overheating by keeping it clean.
To increase the efficiency and electricity output of solar panels.
To reduce manual work and maintenance cost.
To develop a low-cost, energy-saving, and easy-to-use system.
