PCB Applications in PV Cleaning Robots
As global photovoltaic (PV) installations continue to expand, the efficiency of PV power plant operation and maintenance is becoming increasingly important . PV modules remain exposed to outdoor environments for extended periods, allowing dust, sand, and other contaminants to accumulate on their surfaces. The accumulated dust can reduce the effective solar irradiance received by the PV modules, thereby lowering their power generation efficiency. Compared with conventional manual cleaning, PV cleaning robots can perform automated cleaning based on preset routes or sensor feedback. Many systems are also incorporating environmental sensing, status monitoring, and wireless communication to support more automated operation and maintenance of PV power plants. PV cleaning robots typically integrate controllers, motor drives, power management systems, and communication modules. Depending on the product configuration, they may also incorporate edge-detect...
