The solar PV modules are generally employed in dusty environments which is the case in tropical countries like India. The dust gets accumulated on the front surface of the module and blocks the incident light from the sun. It reduces the power generation capacity of the module. The power output reduces as much as by 50% if the module is not cleaned for a month. In order to …
along the length of the solar panel in a vertical direction of 11ft and vice versa, resulting in a mopping motion on the solar panel cleaning the panels. This frame is similarly made up of DC motors that generate rotational motion that is transformed into linear motion via a rack system. This operation is also governed by an Arduino signal.
