Abstract :
This work present a design, build a wet and dry self cleaning system to the street light solar panel. It is simple, lightweight, slight to maintain, portable, withstand the environment; low-cost, long life, takes its power from the battery of the solar panel, and controlled automatically, by a remote control or a timer. The experimental model is based on a DC motor intelligently controls by a dedicated drive unit that move a cleaning head on the panel upwards and downwards with without using, spraying system. The performance and characteristics of the self cleaning system is experimentally analyzed.
