IoT based Smart and Automated Solar Panel Cleaning System

Solar panels are typically deployed in dry environments. The power generation efficiency of solar panels is hampered by high dust buildup and bird droppings. Manually cleaning a solar panel is time-consuming and difficult. This study suggests a brush-based programmed system using IoT technology for cleaning solar panels. The microcontroller and an Android device are used to control the system. The system tells the user of the various operations carried out. The technology may be made portable so that it could be used in multiple places. For the benefit of those who use solar panels, this project was created. This study intends to enable transparency in the cleaning process by utilizing most recent technological advancements, which offer a higher integrity, consistency, cost-effective, and scalable solution for the elimination of dust and speck. Comparing the energy output of the proposed cleaning system to solar panel with dust buildup. Applications from across the world manage this system. The amount of labor required to clean solar panels is also reduced by this technology.
