Description
1 TARIFF SOLAR PANEL CLEANING SYSTEM Technical Area This invention allows solar panels on vehicles to be used even while traveling. It relates to a system that enables automatic cleaning. Previous Technique The efficiency of solar panels on vehicles depends on the use of sunlight. They are directly proportional. Rainy weather in the regions where buses are commonly used. It exists. Due to the road being somewhat dusty and the windows being parallel to the road... It's inevitable that it will collect dust. After collecting the dust, it becomes muddy with the rain. An image is formed, and this image significantly reduces the efficiency of the solar panel. For this reason, 15 Frequent washing is necessary. However, city buses require frequent washing. because it cannot be done elsewhere and because it is an electric bus, it gets its energy from here. Since it's a winning structure, a rooftop solar panel cleaner is needed. There is currently no system in place for cleaning solar panels. 20 However, there are solar panel cleaning robots that are similar in this respect. These robots It can be used in stationary areas. Unfortunately, it cannot be used in moving vehicles. In the Chinese patent document numbered CN218888498, which is included in the prior art...
