LOW COST ROBOTIC CLEANING SYSTEM FOR SOLAR MODULES

Describe your idea/Solution/Prototype here:

The dust particles accumulating on the solar panels & solar cells
significantly reduce the overall efficiency of solar modules
Maintenance of the solar panels has become a major issue
Describe your Technology stack here:
The self automated robot using PIC microcontroller with high torque can
 The design and simulation is done in NX 12.0
become a alternative solution for solar cleaning
software.
 Designing and analysis of solar claning system miniatures the size,
 The analysis on various parts of the robot is done in
there by reduction of product cost
ANSYS software
 The Robot circuit is build and simulated in
PROTEUS software.
 The program for the robot is written and executed in
ARDUINO software and loaded into the Arduino
UNO board.

Before Describe your idea/Solution/Prototype

Cleaning here:
 Cost is very less(nearly 80% less than
commercial cleaning robot)
 Comparatively faster cleaning system due
to bar shaped design
