Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel cleaning, and in particular to a solar photovoltaic panel cleaning component. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) panel is a power generation device that produces direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight. It consists of thin, solid-state photovoltaic cells made almost entirely of semiconductor materials. Simple PV cells can power watches and computers, while more complex PV systems can provide lighting for homes and supply electricity to the grid. PV panels can be made in various shapes and can be interconnected. After prolonged use, PV panels accumulate a large amount of dust and debris on their surface, which can block sunlight and affect their power generation efficiency. Therefore, cleaning is necessary.
