One of the biggest problems we have in India is the lack of energy. Approximately 60% to 70% of the nation's energy needs are satisfied by fossil fuels and agricultural leftovers. Energy availability has been a serious issue for both urban and rural households. The sun radiates solar energy, which is a renewable energy source with enormous potential. It's critical to switch from using petroleum-based electric energy to renewable energy. Solar energy applications should be expanded as solar power has emerged as a renewable energy source. Solar photovoltaic modules are typically used in dusty environments, such as those seen in tropical nations like India. Sunlight is blocked from entering the module due to the accumulation of dust on its front surface. It diminishes the module's ability to generate electricity. After a month without cleaning the module, the power output drops by as much as 50%. Through the control of Arduino programming, the cleaning system is designed to clean the module. To increase the power efficiency, dust must be removed from the PV modules.
