When discharging is required during the anti-precipitation process, the cleaning liquid is discharged and circulated through the discharge groove 14. During the circulation process, the filter screen 13 is used for filtering to filter out impurities to prevent the impurities from entering the nozzle 5 and affecting the working state of the nozzle 5. Secondly, during the process of cleaning the photovoltaic panel, the external power supply can be connected first. Then, the displacement sensor 1011 can detect the wheels a 1005 and b 1010. When the wheels a 1005 and b 1010 slip and tilt, the rotation speeds of the micro motor a 1001 and the micro motor b 1006 can be adjusted, and then the differential speed of the wheels a 1005 and b 1010 can be adjusted to prevent the machine from slipping and tilting.
