DISADVANTAGES:
High Capital Costs
Requires Large Space
Not Flexible Once Installed
Proposed Method
Truck mounted
Truck mounted cleaning systems consist of a brush attached to a truck or other
vehicle , which drives between the PV panels rows.
Semi‐automated
Semi‐automated cleaning devices must be placed at the beginning of each PV
module-mounting table. The device then moves automatically in one direction over the surface
of the PV modules.
After completing one PV module table the device has to
be carried and placed onto the next PV module table by hand.
Portable Robots
Through robots we can also clean solar PV modules
They have sensors and a control system for detecting dirt on the PV module surface and then
clean it.
Conclusion
An online electronic monitoring system is designed and implemented for solar PV panel
performance testing. The presented system is characterized by simplicity and easy
using. The implemented system is working on measuring the levels of many physical
parameters; light intensity, dust density, ambient temperature and humidity. These
parameters are affecting individually positively or negatively on the panel
effectiveness which reflected on the output power of the panel. The effectiveness of
the panel is analyzed with respect to each parameter separately. These parameters
affect positively whereas the effect of the other is negative on the output power
