Abstract— Photovoltaic (PV) panels, which are grouped in several arrays inside a solar farm or solar energy system, are the primary source of solar power. Many nations with high levels of insolation favor solar as a possible source of clean energy, despite the variable efficiency of power generation from solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. However, even on a single panel in an array, the buildup of pollutants and dust reduces the level of energy produced by PV panels. Because of this condition, PV panels' surfaces need to be cleaned on a regular basis. The labor-intensive, time-, water-, and energy-intensive cleaning techniques used for photovoltaic arrays today lack automation. A completely automated system that may be used with or without water is suggested as a solution to this issue. Therefore, the development of a machine for automatic PV panel surface cleaning is discussed in this study. To regulate the robot's mobility while cleaning, the design makes use of an Arduino controlling system. Furthermore, it has a system for pumping water and two rough sponges that will be used to remove dust or dirt from PV panel surfaces. Prior to and following the cleaning procedure, the PV panels' efficiency is also noted. The outcome demonstrates that, once the dust of the photovoltaic panel is removed, the designed solar panel washing robot can efficiently clean the panel and restore 50% of the panel's maximum power and output current.
