Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel module technology, specifically a photovoltaic array cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) panel is a power generation device that generates direct current (DC) when exposed to sunlight.

[0003] During use, photovoltaic (PV) panels accumulate dust, bird droppings, and sand on their surfaces, which can block sunlight and reduce the absorption of solar radiation. Long-term accumulation of dirt can corrode the glass panel surface and may also cause localized overheating, posing a fire risk. Regular cleaning eliminates these hazards and ensures stable system operation. Current technologies involve cleaning machines or manual cleaning, but these methods require the use of cleaning solutions. After cleaning, cleaning solution residue remains on the surface, leading to stains after natural drying. Therefore, we propose a PV array cleaning machine. Utility Model Content
