Design and Development of IOT enabled Electronic Circuit for Solar Arrays Cleaning Mechanism

Abstract

Using solar energy effectively is essential to reducing the effects of climate change. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are the main means of producing power. Nevertheless, a study suggests that the buildup of dust and debris can reduce the efficiency of solar panels by as much as fifty percent. An automated solar panel cleaning system, with or without water, is suggested as a remedy for this problem in order to improve PV panel performance. The project's goal is to install an IOT based Arduino UNO-based microcontroller-based dust cleaning system that will maximize PV panel performance in dusty conditions and boost overall efficiency.
