dc.description.abstractSolar Power Plant investments are increasing on a daily basis, as part of a strategy to maximize the use of Turkey's domestic and renewable energy resources. One of the factors affecting the efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) panel is also surface pollution. It is inevitable to increase the surface pollution of PV panels with environmental factors. Many parameters such as the location of PV panels, fixing patterns, the structural/chemical properties of the pollutants affect the frequency of cleaning periods of the PV panels. In this study, a PV panel surface cleaning robot is developed. It performs autonomously cleaning of substances including dirt, dust on PV panel surfaces. Some features of the developed autonomous robot are; (i) switching to autonomous operating mode if it is needed on rainy days, (ii) pure water-saving thanks to the cleaning decision based on the meteorological data, (iii) determining the cleaning operation based on the dust sensor data, (iv) condition monitoring and control via the developed mobile application. Moreover, the cleaning interval on the PV panel efficiency was investigated. Thus, optimum cleaning intervals were determined in terms of both PV panel energy efficiency and pure water-consuming of the designed robot.
