Abstract

The production of electrical energy based on photovoltaic systems depends considerably on solar radiation and its degree of inclination at the installation site, however, there are other external agents that affect its performance, such as: the accumulation of dust on the surface of the solar panel, which is why, in this research work we propose the design and construction of an automaton system, which consists of: Arduino card as the main processing unit of the signals sent by the voltage sensors, current (HALL effect), dust sensor and light
intensity, also for cleaning the surface the prototype uses nylon rollers to clean the panels and rubber brushes. The system can be installed directly on the panels of solar power plants and commercial and residential sectors, in this system the water can be reused, there is no vibration. The project aims to increase the efficiency of the solar panel by eliminating dust particles.
