Automated Cleaning Tracking and Cooling System (ACTCS) for Solar Panel

Abstract

Due to the increase in demand for power in India and the move towards sustainability, it has become very important to move to renewable sources of energy. Solar energy is one of the most common and easy to adopt a renewable source of energy on a large scale. As it can be installed anywhere not only limiting to the solar farms but also at the roofs of private establishments as well as public establishments. The operating efficiency of a solar panel is 15-22% and due to various factors, such as shadows, snow, high temperatures, dust, dirt, bird droppings, pollen and sea salt, the efficiency is hampered to a larger extent. The problem of dust and dirt is overcome by installation of a cleaning system. In traditional solar panel instalment, the 100% efficiency would only be possible for hardly 2 to 3 hours due to the angle of incident. The addition of the cooling system ensures that the temperature of the solar panel never exceeds above 50oC which is the optimum operating temperature. By incorporation of all the three systems, the operating efficiency of the solar panel can be increased by almost 45 to 85%.
