  • Patent number: 11466901
    Abstract: The present invention relates to self powered and timer based solar panel cleaning system that is operated by self generating electrical power from solar energy and reduces wear and tear problem of moving parts. In this system, the microcontroller (54) is interfaced with motor driver (51) and brush driver (52). Said motor driver (51) and brush driver (52) control the speed of wheel motor (32) and brush driver (33). When ultrasonic sensor (5) sends signal to microcontroller (54), said microcontroller (54) generates and transmits signal to wheel motor driver (51) and brush driver (52). Thus, when structure reaches nearby the end edge of the solar panel array, said drivers gradually reduce r.p.m. of wheel motor (32) and brush motor (33) and then motors stop when machine reaches to opposite platform. Thus, during alteration of mode, r.p.m. of motors will be at substantially low that prevents the moving parts from damage.
