The cleanliness of PV modules has a significant impact on their power generation efficiency because dust, dirt, and other contaminants reduce light transmittance, thus affecting power generation. Therefore, regular cleaning of PV modules is crucial.
[0003] Conventional photovoltaic module cleaning devices are fixedly installed around the photovoltaic panels using a bracket structure to achieve targeted cleaning. However, the overall structure is relatively complex, the installation is cumbersome, the manufacturing cost is high, and the flexibility and convenience of use are relatively limited.

One end of the cleaning roller is mounted to the power output end of the servo motor via a coupling, and one end of the first electric joint is movably mounted to the top of the first fixed seat via a mounting base.
[0008] Furthermore, the support frame includes a stabilizing frame, a connecting valve pipe, and a fixing pile. The bottom of the left and right ends of the stabilizing frame is provided with a connecting valve pipe, and the left and right ends of the stabilizing frame are equipped with a fixing pile on the side close to the cleaning component. Moreover, the bottom of the fixing pile is movably installed on the top of the second fixing seat.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting pipe assembly includes a tee, a connector, and a combination pipe. The connector is vertically mounted on the top of the tee, and the combination pipe is connected to both the left and right ends of the tee.
