Güneş Paneli Temizliği ve Bakımı için Robotik Sistemin Uygulanması

In this study, a portable and low-cost solar panel cleaning robot with a functioning to blow away dust was designed and built to incur labor costs.The robot is service effective, environmentally friendly, energy independent, self-automated, long durable, and cost-effective. After cleaning operation, output voltage and current in solar panelincreased by 8.02% and 18.78%, respectively. Moreover, the image processing with the photos taken by a camera fixed on the robot made classification according to color changes in the solar panel. Therefore, it can be concluded that the automated and multifunctional robot may facilitate the solar panel surface cleaning and be an applicable maintenance method through remote monitoring of the surface conditions.
