Abstract

The energy obtained from the sun is abundant and its collection is easy through solar cells and solar panels that are maintained on a regular basis. However, variables like as panel orientation, shading, gusts and squalls, baseline temperature, and deposition of dust all impact solar cell efficiency, which is already poor. The repair and overhaul of solar panels, in particular, is difficult due to soiling. To remove the material that has collected on the panels, manual and water-based cleaning treatments are commonly utilised. A complete analysis of soiling avoidance approaches is offered in this research with the goal of increasing solar panel energy collection. Following that, the voice of organisation specifics of an indigenously created autonomous water-free ablution mechanism for removing soiling from solar panels are explained. The collection of energy for PV panels cleaned using an autonomous solar panel solution for cleaning over the course of a month is compared to the energy capture for filthy panels in a local solar panel installation, and the enhanced yield is calculated.
