This invention introduces an automatic solar panel cleaning device specifically designed to address the challenges of traditional manual cleaning methods. Conventional solar panel maintenance requires workers to perform repeated rinsing and scrubbing, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Over time, dust, dirt, and other environmental residues can significantly reduce energy efficiency if not properly cleaned.
The proposed device automates the cleaning process, allowing solar panels to be rinsed and maintained with minimal human intervention. This not only reduces the workload and physical strain on workers but also ensures more consistent and effective cleaning results. By integrating automation into solar panel maintenance, the device significantly improves operational efficiency, lowers long-term maintenance costs, and ensures stable energy output from solar systems.
