Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panels, and more specifically, to a photovoltaic panel dust removal device. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic panels, as the core component of solar power generation, play a crucial role in the modern energy sector due to their high efficiency and environmental friendliness. They typically consist of a series of solar cell units that utilize the photovoltaic effect to directly convert sunlight into electricity, providing clean and sustainable energy solutions for homes, businesses, and large power plants. Photovoltaic panels not only help reduce carbon emissions and drive the green energy transition, but also play a key role in distributed energy systems, improving energy efficiency and contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
[0003] In industrial production environments, especially in dusty places like cement plants, the installation and maintenance of photovoltaic panels face unique challenges. Since photovoltaic panels are installed inside cement plants, they are prone to accumulating dust and dirt. Cleaning with tools such as water guns is labor-intensive, and using the right tools results in long cleaning times, wasting manpower and resources. Severe dirt buildup cannot be removed, which also affects power generation efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a photovoltaic panel cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] In the scheme of this application:
[0018] By incorporating a connecting plate and steel wool, the combination of the two achieves efficient and safe cleaning.
