Solar Panel with Sun Position Tracking and Automatic Cleaning System

Abstract

Abstract: The project focuses on solving the problem of dust settling, stability issues of solar tracking unit and overtime decrease in efficiency of solar panels. The project is based on fabricating an automated system which can clean and track the solar panels automatically and efficiently. It works on reducing the losses caused by tracking and cleaning which could be adjusted to be fully automated as well as manually controlled as per the requirements. The major common problems in normal solar cleaning and tracking projects is the use of sensors which get affected due to adverse conditions and settling of dust due to which the mechanism provides incorrect readings. Hence these problems are solved in our project which focuses on cleaning of panels and eliminating the use of sensors like proximity sensors, etc. The project designed can be used in solar power plants and industries where timely cleaning and maintenance of Solar Panels is a necessity.
