Eco-Bot: Autonomous Solar Panel Cleaner

Eco-Bot (Ecological Robot) is an innovative autonomous solar panel cleaning system aiming to enhance the solar panel efficiency and reduce the environmental impact that conventional methods may cause. Designed for sustainability, Eco-Bot replaces the manual cleaning methods, which need chemical agents, and minimizes the electrical hazards that may occur by navigating autonomously, through solar panel arrays, detecting dirt, and performing effective cleaning. It adapts to various climatic conditions and panel configurations, ensuring thorough and efficient maintenance across diverse solar systems. Enhancing solar panel performance and longevity contributes significantly to the sustainability of renewable energy systems. Eco-Bot utilizes advanced robotics and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to address the persistent issue of dust and debris accumulation. This paper explores the design and operation of the proposed system.
