Pakistan has recently invested a lot in installment of solar panels and according to data, we have 25,000 industrial units with more than 1.5 GW system and 20,000 commercial units Accumulation of dust on the surface of the panels of solar voltaic (PV) system is natural. The accumulated dust on the surface of PV solar panels can reduce the output efficiency by up to 40%. The main environmental factors that affect the efficiency of panels are dust, bird dropping, snow, and much more. That being said, the number of units that a consumer is losing (for example for a 10kW solar system) will be 500 units per month.
The Challenge:
A solar panel cleaning robot that helps in improving the output efficiency by up to 12%, which is to save 150 to 175 units per month for 10kW solar units.
