APPARATUS FOR CLEANING A PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL OF A PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATOR WITH IMPROVED GENERATION EFFICIENCY

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus for cleaning a photovoltaic panel of a photovoltaic power generator is provided to cleanly clean a photovoltaic panel by vertically moving a brush in case of rain.;CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for cleaning a photovoltaic panel of a photovoltaic power generator comprises moving pulleys(4,4a), a moving motor(7), left and right brackets(10,11), a rotating motor(12), first and second cleaning pipes(40,41), a sensor unit, and a controller. The moving pulleys are connected to each other through a first drive belt(5). A motor pulley(8) is connected to the moving pulleys through a second drive belt(6). The brush is rotatably installed in the centers of the left and right brackets. The rotating motor rapidly rotates the brush. The first and second cleaning pipes spray cleaning water on the surface of a photovoltaic panel when the left and right brackets are vertically moved. The sensor unit senses the operation environment of the photovoltaic panel. The controller operates the moving motor, the rotating motor, and a water pump depending on the sensed operation environment.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
