Solar Panel Cleaning System Using Smart Hybrid Embedded Systems with IoT Assistance

Abstract

The solar panel cleaning system utilizes a rechargeable battery and is activated by a switch through a mobile application. The cleaning tool is moved horizontally by pressing a button in the mobile application and sends an output signal to the gear motors using internet access. Cleaning solar panels on a commercial and industrial scale can be difficult due to the lack of readily available water and power sources. Rooftops, carports, and other elevated structures provide unique cleaning challenges. A solar panel cleaning system based on a Linear Piezoelectric Actuator (LPA) is intended to enable a solar panel to operate in optimal power-producing conditions regardless if employed in a gross climate. The energy flow, the solar power source, the supercapacitor-battery hybrid storage system, and the load are effectively managed using a Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based load predictive energy management system. Hence, LPA-SVM is a solar panel cleaning system that can diminish dirt accumulating on the surface. Cleaning solar panels may improve performance by removing dust, dirt, and pollutants like leaves and bugs. Clean the contaminants with water and a soft, non-abrasive sponge and towel for optimal results and to avoid damaging the solar panels in the accessibility.
