Abstract
Many types of Solar Panel Cleaning Robots are used in many countries, such as Solar Frames Connected Robot. Developing the Solar Panel Cleaning Robots can be used to work instead human especially it is not necessary to have a supervisor for working control and reduce a risk of damage from moving a robot. However, Solar Frames Connected Robot still has defect which limited size of solar panel and not easy to move. This research aims to design and develop the Solar Panel Cleaning Robots by studying Solar Panel Cleaning Robots movement which work suitable in Thailand, Wireless Joystick, Sensor Sonar using Gear Motor and ARDUINO microcontroller. The robot will clean a solar cell by using a rotary brush with water spray to improve cleaning system. Result of studying Solar Panel Cleaning Robots movement by using Gear Motor can operate at a surface level of 0-30 degrees Celsius and cleaning system by using rotary brush can be clean 80% of solar panel.
