The goal of this project is to make life better for people who use solar panels. We provide an open and honest dust- and speck-removal system that makes use of cutting-edge technology that has improved performance, honesty, uniformity, cost, and scalability. These days' cleaning systems provide roughly 32% greater power output than a dirty solar panel. The universe itself is the controller of this system. This technique also reduces the number of people needed to clean solar panels. This is a method for automatically washing solar panels. Manually washing the solar panels is a tedious and time-consuming task. In this study, we propose a timed system that uses water and wipers to clean solar panels. Internet of Things (IoT) technology is used to carry out the operation. microcontroller and several sensor modules will undoubtedly handle system management. The Android application may be used to control the system. The system sends the consumer a notification message informing them of the various processes that have been run. It’s possible that the system may be made transportable so that it can be deployed in a variety of settings. A 5V, 500mA controlled power supply is used in this project. For voltage regulation, the 78053 authority is used, which is incurable. The second 230V to 12V step down transformer’s AC output is rectified by a full-wave bridge rectifier.
