About

Thitipong Makmee is a researcher focused on advancing solar energy systems through innovative engineering solutions. His primary research areas include solar panel maintenance, robotics, and renewable energy optimization. Makmee’s most notable contribution is his work on the "Design and Experiment of Four-side Stretch Sling-based Solar Cleaning Robot" (2021), which addresses a critical challenge in solar power efficiency: the accumulation of dirt such as dust, sand, pollen, and agricultural residues that significantly reduce photovoltaic output. This paper, with 12 citations, proposes a novel robotic cleaning mechanism that enhances power capacity by maintaining solar cell cleanliness, offering a practical solution for real-world solar installations. Makmee’s research bridges mechanical design and renewable energy, demonstrating how targeted automation can mitigate performance losses in solar systems. His work is particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring sustainable energy technologies, as it highlights the intersection of robotics and environmental engineering. By tackling operational inefficiencies in solar power, Makmee contributes to the broader goal of maximizing renewable energy utilization, making his findings relevant for both academic study and industrial application.
