Solar Panel Cleaning Machine Via Application

Abstract

The purposes of this project were to design, make and find an efficiency of the Solar panel cleaning machine with the application. The results of the design and make of the Solar panel cleaning machine with the application to be able to operate through an application, it appears that it can walk and stop by itself. In the same way, the machine can also go back and stop by itself, too. And it can scrub the solar panel. The machine was divided into three parts: part 1 was a body which for mounting various equipment. The machine took 40 seconds to work on one solar panel, which was equivalent to two workers to clean. Next, part 2 was used to install the control unit and the motor to drive the solar panel scrubber. Which the first part is a support for the storage blocks. If the machine had full battery, it can work for 1.5 hours. The last one, Part 3 was the part which used to clean the solar panel. It consists of a ½”shaft which had 150 cm long, and the scrubbing brush was installed along the shaft for cleaning solar panels to speed up the scrubbing speed of washing the solar panel. The use of manpower can increase the efficiency of electricity generation by solar cells more. There was 1% difference. When the machine was used in 1 day, it was sure that the machine can reduce the cost of washing solar panels by up to 50%.  It was compared with the washing of solar panels by manual.
