The invention relates to the technical field of cleaning of photovoltaic assemblies, and particularly discloses a photovoltaic plate surface cleaning device. The photovoltaic plate surface cleaning device comprises photovoltaic plate strings which are linearly arranged and installed, and is characterized in that a travelling device is transversely erected on the one or plurality of adjacent photovoltaic plate strings, and is sequentially provided with a front sweeping device, a scraping sweeping device and a sweep-back device from front to rear, wherein the front sweeping device, the scrapingsweeping device and the sweep-back device transversely cover the surfaces of the photovoltaic plate strings; an air blowing system and an automatic control system are installed on the travelling device; the air blowing system is connected with the front sweeping device, the sweep-back device and an auxiliary purging system; and the automatic control system is connected with the travelling device,the front sweeping device, the scraping sweeping device, the sweep-back device and the air blowing system. The photovoltaic plate surface cleaning device is reasonable in structure, stable in operation, efficient in sweeping, and is used for reasonably maintaining a photovoltaic power generating station and improving the power generating efficiency.
