DESIGN OF SOLAR PANEL MONITORING MECHATRON MODULE

Abstract

The development of solar panel power generation control technology has proven to be crucial to increase reliability and reduce costs. As a renewable energy source, solar panels do not emit any pollution while producing electricity. However, solar panels are negatively affected by pollution, which is a major environmental factor affecting energy production. The intensity of the light falling on the solar panel is reduced when dirt accumulates on the surface. This, in turn, reduces the output of electricity produced by the solar panel. Since solar panel cleaning is important, constant monitoring and evaluation of these processes is necessary to optimize them. This highlights the importance of using smart systems to de-dirt and clean solar panels to improve their performance [1]. The article attempts to verify the existence and level of research interest in this topic and evaluates the impact of intelligent systems for detecting pollution conditions and cleaning solar panels in comparison with autonomous and manual technologies.
