AUTOMATIC POWER WASHER FOR SOLAR PANEL CLEANING

Resumen de: WO2026224725A1

Solar Panel Cleaning is necessary for maintaining an effective electricity output as well as for mechanical and aesthetic wellness of Solar Panels. Most common method to wash panels is using water. Water is sprayed on panels which removes dirt and dust. The disadvantage of this cleaning is that it does not clean the panels properly. Without pressure, water does not remove sticky dirt also water makes the dirt stick to panel. Pressure washing is needed to properly clean the panels. Pressure washing or spot cleaning the panel is only way to clean panels properly. Also, the pressure washings are to be done regularly so that solar panel produce energy to its full potential. For the above reason, an Automatic Pressure washer is developed. A single electrically operated device is fixed on Solar Panel array consisting of multiple panels, using a specially designed 3- point fixture which can be fixed to any model of solar panel. A unique design sprinkler is used which creates pressure water jet which spot cleans the solar panel array. Span of the solar panel array is fixed by setpoints on the device which sets the length and width of the solar panel array. Once set, in run mode the device directs the sprinkler to pressure wash the whole array by controlling the direction of the sprinkler across length and width of the array.
