[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is a technology that uses the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor interfaces to directly convert light energy into electrical energy. It mainly consists of three parts: solar panels, controllers and inverters. The main components are made of electronic components. Solar cells are packaged and protected after being connected in series to form large-area solar cell modules, which are then combined with power controllers and other components to form photovoltaic power generation devices.

[0003] Photovoltaic panels need to be placed in open areas for a long time, which causes dust in the air to adhere to the surface of the photovoltaic panels. If it rains, although the attached dust can be washed away, when the rain stops, the attached rainwater will absorb the dust in the air. When the rainwater is evaporated by the sun, the dust will stick to the surface of the photovoltaic panels and is difficult to remove. At present, the surface of photovoltaic panels needs to be cleaned manually, resulting in low efficiency.

[0031] The cleaning component 4 also includes a water pump 49, which is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the placement shell 48. The inner walls on the left and right sides of the placement shell 48 at the opening position are fixedly connected with water sprinklers 410, and the water pump 49 is fixedly connected to the water sprinkler 410 through a pipe. A partition 411 is fixedly connected inside the placement shell 48, and a drive motor 412 is fixedly connected inside the placement shell 48 and on the side of the partition 411 away from the water pump 49. The nozzle on the sprinkler 410 of this application is an inclined design, and the nozzle is facing the side of the cleaning brush 413.
