Cleaning apparatus for solar panels

Abstract

A cleaning apparatus for a solar panel, comprising a controlling device and a solar panel, wherein the controlling device is installed either on bottom portion or lower back of the back portion of the solar panel. A driving motor of the controlling device is controlled by means of setting the timer, so that the driven cleaner will be driven to clean up the surface of the solar panel on the presetting time. Since the structural constitution of the present invention is simple, so that the maintenance cost can be reduced significantly. Thus, the objects of simplifying the structure and reducing the maintenance costs are achieved.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a cleaning apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus used in cleaning dust and other accumulations on a solar panel.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]A conventional cleaning apparatus for a solar panel as shown in FIG. 7 comprises a solar panel 40, a driving device 41, a set of driving bars 42, a set of driven bars 43 and a scraper 44; wherein the driving device 41 and the driving bars 42 are disposed on the top of the solar panel 40 and connected to each other; in addition, the driven bars 43 are disposed aside the solar panel 40 which are driven by the driving bars 42; as for the scraper 44, it is mounted across the solar panel 40 transversely, and driven by the driven bars 43. By means of the structural arrangement stated above, the scraper 44 can be driven by the driving device 41 to clean up the dust on the solar panel 40 by way of the drivin...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]The primary purpose for the present invention is to provide a cleaning apparatus for a solar panel, comprising a controlling device and a solar panel, wherein the controlling device further comprises a driving motor having a driven cleaner, and a timer; the solar panel further comprises a bottom portion and a back portion in which allow the controlling device to install on either place. The driving motor of controlling device is controlled by means of setting the timer, so that the driven cleaner will be driven to clean up the surface of the solar panel on the presetting time. Since the structural constitution of the present invention is simple, so that the maintenance cost can be reduced significantly, thus the objects of simplifying the structure and reducing the maintenance costs are achieved.

Problems solved by technology

1. Complicated structural combination: Due to the driving device 41 and the driving bars 42 of the conventional cleaning apparatus are disposed on the top of the solar panel 40 and connected to each other, meanwhile, the driven bars 43 are driven by the driving bars 42, and the scraper 44 which mounted across the solar panel 40 is driven by the driven bars 43. Thus, the components which are used in the conventional cleaning apparatus are miscellaneous, so that the overall structure of the conventional cleaning apparatus is tremendously complicated; and

2. High maintenance cost: Due to the driving device 41 and the driving bars 42 of the conventional cleaning apparatus are disposed on the top of the solar panel 40 and connected to each other, meanwhile, the driven bars 43 are driven by the driving bars 42, and the scraper 44 which mounted across the solar panel 40 is driven by the driven bars 43. Thus, the components which are used in the conventional cleaning apparatus are complicated, so that the maintenance costs of the apparatus is tremendously high.
