Abstract: The dust particles accumulating on the solar panels (20,000 Square meters).The cleaning of dust particles on the solar panel is a panels will prevent the solar energy from reaching the huge problem because it’s time consuming process and solar cells, thereby reducing the overall power requires lot of man power and money. To remove this generation, Power output is reduced as much as by 50%,limitation, robotics can be used as it eliminates human if the module is not cleaned for a month. In order to labour and at the same time more economical and regularly clean the dust, an automatic cleaning system autonomous. which removes the dust on the solar panel is developed. In this paper, the problem is reviewed and the method for dust removal is discussed. A robot cleaning device is developed and it travels the entire length of the panel. A PIC microcontroller is used to implement robots control system. The robot provided a favourable result and proved that such a system is viable by making the robotic cleaning possible, thus helping the solar panel to maintain its efficiency. This paper provides an overview of the cleaning aspects of solar panels through a literature review. We first discuss the drawbacks of unwanted deposits on solar panels in terms of energy production and efficiency. Existing cleaning practices and technologies are then presented with an emphasis on factors such as the size of the facility, location, cost, and available resources. Finally, comparative cost– benefit analysis is carried out using decision support tools and taking into account different relevant criteria to support users choose the right cleaning maintenance for their specific solar installation.
