FABRICATION OF CLEANING SYSTEM FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL ARRAYS

Solar power is probably the most important source of renewable energy available today. Solar energy is the light and radiant heat from the Sun that influences Earth's climate and weather and sustains life. Solar power installations are becoming increasingly common, especially in desert regions. While the plentiful sunlight is a boon to solar power, the desert poses some unique challenges as well. Wind-blown dust can block sunlight and reduce ef iciency of a solar power plant because dust covers direct sun ray contact with the panel, and also these will sticks to and coats of solar reflectors and solar panels reduces its ef iciency. Due to the high volume of dust upon the solar panel during summer season, the cleaning process is necessary to obtain the required ef iciency. The cleaning process might be costlier as well as require human ef ort too. It can be carried out with the help of blower mechanism & wiper motor mechanism. The proposed system includes a blower that powered by the motor that makes panels clean from the dust-carrying winds. So within low cost and limited human ef ort the new solar panel cleaning system can be implemented
