Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the management system of a solar panel facility equipped with the circulation-type cleaning of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing one embodiment of the management system of a solar panel facility equipped with the circulation-type cleaning of this invention. The management system of a solar panel facility equipped with the circulation-type cleaning according to the present invention includes a facility security stage, a facility management stage, a regular inspection stage of the solar panel, and a waste recycling stage.

[0016] In the management system of a solar panel facility equipped with circulation cleaning according to the present invention, the facility security stage includes the stage of installing security lights and security signs, and the stage of installing security cameras. At this time, the security lights and security signs can be selected from both or either one according to the installation location and installation environment. Also, regarding the security cameras to be installed simultaneously, in addition to self-management by the facility manager side of the solar panel facility, security can be provided in cooperation with a security company.

[0017] In the management system of a solar panel facility equipped with circulation cleaning according to the present invention, the facility management stage includes a fence inspection stage, a drainage ditch inspection stage, an equipment inspection stage, a leaf and tree shade inspection stage, and a waste inspection stage for illegal dumping and the like within the facility. At this time, the fence inspection stage performs repair and proper treatment of waste, and the drainage ditch inspection stage performs cleaning and proper treatment of waste. Also, in the equipment inspection stage, repair and replacement of the equipment of the solar panel facility are performed. In the leaf and tree shade inspection, felling, stump removal, pruning, and proper treatment of the waste generated thereby are performed. In the waste inspection stage for illegal dumping and the like within the facility, cleaning and proper treatment of waste are performed.

[0018] In the management system of a solar panel facility equipped with circulation cleaning according to the present invention, the solar panel regular inspection stage includes a cleaning treatment stage, a stain prevention countermeasure stage, a crack inspection stage, a power conditioner inspection stage, a drone operation stage, and a cleaning brush replacement system stage.

[0019] First, in the stain treatment stage, ultrafine bubble cleaning is performed on the target solar panel, which consists of a cleaning process using cleaning water with ultrafine bubbles added and a film removal process on the surface of the solar panel using chlorine-removed water. The cleaning step using the cleaning water added with the ultrafine bubbles is to clean the surface of the solar panel using the cleaning water containing ultrafine bubbles in pure water or substantially pure water after the filtration process, and without using a highly environmentally burdensome detergent containing a conventional surfactant or the like, it is possible to sufficiently wash away the dirt on the surface of the solar panel and perform dirt treatment. In addition, for the water containing dirt generated during the cleaning operation, a sewage recovery means is provided to recover it, and after obtaining pure water or substantially pure water again through a filter or the like, ultrafine bubbles are added so that it can be reused as cleaning water containing ultrafine bubbles.

[0020] The film removal step on the surface of the solar panel using the chlorine-removed water is a step using the chlorine-removed water, and the film on the surface of the solar panel is also removed. By doing so, the work in the next-stage anti-fouling countermeasure stage can be carried out effectively and efficiently.

[0021] The anti-fouling countermeasure stage consists of a coating step using a titanium oxide coating agent. This titanium oxide is known to have a photocatalytic function, and by applying the coating agent of the titanium oxide to the surface of the solar panel, it is possible to effectively prevent the surface of the solar panel from being damaged for a long period of time.

[0022] In the crack inspection stage and the power conditioner inspection stage, proper treatment of repair, replacement, and waste is carried out. In the drone operation stage, the drone is equipped with a camera, an infrared sensor, and spraying means, and it is possible to perform inspections by camera and infrared inspection on the solar panel facility including the surface of the solar panel, and also to spray various cleaning waters and the like. By doing so, the work that was conventionally carried out by the operator visually checking for dirt, damage, etc. can be inspected by the camera and infrared sensor mounted on the drone, and the work efficiency can be greatly improved. In addition, by mounting spraying means on the drone, various cleaning waters and the like that were conventionally carried out by the operator can be sprayed by the spraying means mounted on the drone, and the safety of the work that is dangerous depending on the target location can be greatly improved along with the work efficiency.

[0023] In the cleaning brush replacement system stage, the wear of the cleaning brush is regularly inspected, and the cleaning brush is replaced according to the cost.

[0024] In the waste recycling stage, for the waste obtained in each stage of the management system of the present invention, the following processing is performed for each material. a) Steel and aluminum are recycled as raw materials. b) Glass is recycled as raw materials. c) Weeds and trees are reused as humus materials. d) Non-recyclable materials are reused as aggregates, etc. e) The water used for cleaning is the water used for cleaning the solar panel, and since the water consists of pure water or substantially pure water, it is reused as pure water or substantially pure water again by a filter or the like. f) The water for salt damage cleaning is the water used for removing the coating of the solar panel, and it is reused again after being made reusable by a filter or the like.

Industrial Applicability

[0025] Since the management system of the solar panel facility with the circulation type cleaning of the present invention is configured as described above, it is a unified management system that can be provided to any solar panel facility regardless of the facility management conditions of the solar panel facility. By having the circulation type cleaning, it fully considers the environment and enables continuous service provision at low cost.

[0026] Of course, the management system of the solar panel facility with the circulation type cleaning of the present invention can be applied not only to solar panel facilities but also to other facilities and equipment that require regular surface cleaning.
