Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning System Based on Arduino for Dust Removal

Project Code :TEMBMA3937

Objective

The main objective of this project is to develop an automatic solar panel cleaning system using Arduino to improve solar panel efficiency by removing dust automatically. The system uses an LDR sensor to detect day and night conditions and activates a servo motor to clean the solar panel only during daytime. An LCD display is used to show the system status and cleaning operation.

Abstract

The Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning System Based on Arduino for Dust Removal is designed to improve solar panel efficiency by automatically cleaning dust from the panel surface. The system uses an LDR sensor to detect day and night conditions. During daytime, the Arduino activates a servo motor to clean the solar panel, while the cleaning process stops during nighttime. An LCD display shows the system status and cleaning operation. This project reduces manual effort and helps maintain better solar panel performance.

NOTE: Without the concern of our team, please don't submit to the college. This Abstract varies based on student requirements.
