Abstract

In general, solar panels are installed in dusty areas. Because of excessive dust accumulation and bird droppings the power generation efficiency of solar panel is affected. Cleaning the solar panel manually is tedious and cumbersome. In this paper we propose a programmable system to clean solar panel using water and wiper. The project is implemented using Internet of Things (IOT) technology. The system will be controlled by the Microcontroller and various sensors. The system can be controlled by using android device. The system notifies the user about the various operations performed through text message. The system may be converted to portable so that it can be used in various locations.
