Review of the Literature on Robotic Solar Panel Cleaning

摘要

The cleaning robot contributes to improving the effectiveness of solar panels in a variety of applications, including<br> solar panels for homes and other sectors. In the energy industry, photovoltaics (PV) is a new technology that<br> converts solar irradiance—the radiant energy from the sun—directly into electricity. Here, the photovoltaic cells<br> take the energy contained in the photons emitted by the sun and transform it into usable energy. The energy<br> industry has seen a radical transformation thanks to PV technology, which has made it possible to generate clean<br> power and move toward more environmentally friendly energy practices globally. The collection of dust is one of<br> the major issues, however, that has an impact on the energy performance of panels. In areas with high levels of air<br> pollution, particularly in Africa, this is a severe problem. But because some of the panels are hard to access and<br> dangerous, maintaining the panels is a serious issue that is usually overlooked. Solar panel cleaning robots, an<br> ingenious solution that combines cutting-edge technology to navigate and clean solar panels effectively and<br> efficiently without the need for physical labor, were developed as a result. Solar panels are outfitted with a range of<br> tools for cleaning dust, grime, and other impurities from their surface that are common in Africa in order to<br> maintain their performance at its peak.<br>
