Solar Panel Monitoring and Maintenance System

Abstract

Solar energy is a sustainable energy source. It is renewable as well. It has many applications like solar water heaters, solar air heaters and electricity generation. Solar panels require regular monitoring and proper maintenance for them to work in full capacity. The existing panel cleaning system is more manually controlled and has to be setup every single time on the panel and removed after use which is also quite expensive for a single service. The setup has to be mounted upon the panel very carefully. This too mainly depends on experienced solar maintainers. Our main objective is to develop a Solar panel cleaning system which could remove the accumulated dust on its surface on a regular basis and maintain the solar power plant output. To notify and alert immediately whenever there is a case of theft and to track it.
