TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of solar photovoltaic, especially to a dry type solar panel cleaning robot without water. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the photovoltaic power generation industry has developed to a large scale. Solar power generation is to convert light into electricity through the form of light-heat-electricity, that is, to absorb and convert solar radiation through crystalline silicon materials. In the process of using solar energy, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is an important indicator of solar energy utilization, and the dust on the surface of the cell panel will affect the absorption of light radiation by the solar panel, thereby affecting the photoelectric conversion efficiency. Since solar power stations are generally built in remote areas with few people, even in harsh natural desert areas, the cleaning problem of solar panels has become a new research topic.
[0003] The cleaning methods of solar panels in photovoltaic power stations mainly include manual cleaning, mechanical cleaning vehicles and intelligent solar panel cleaning robots. Manual cleaning of solar panels not only wastes water resources, but also has low automation degree and requires a large amount of labor cost. Although the mechanical cleaning vehicle has high automation degree, the vehicle has large size and is not convenient to move, and is easy to damage the photovoltaic panel during cleaning. The existing solar panel cleaning robots are not popular, and the reason is that the design of the cleaning robot's moving range, cleaning efficiency and flexibility does not meet the actual cleaning requirements of the photovoltaic power station.
