The best and safest way to generate power that is not associated with fossil fuels or nuclear power, and is available on a global basis, is to utilize solar energy. Commercial fields of solar panels are becoming very popular around the world, for the utilization of solar energy.
To produce commercial quantities of solar energy, large fields of solar panels (or collectors) must be deployed. A major concern, in regard to maintaining these absorption panels, is the dirt and dust that accumulate on the panels and reduce their effectiveness. Regular and frequent cleaning of the panels is necessary to maintain a consistent flow of energy. This cleaning process is presently down manually and is a slow, tedious, and expensive task.
Loss of power output from solar panels is mainly caused by two phenomena:
-Dirt accumulating on the panels on a regular basis.
-Dirt from sand storms covering the panels and creating a very negative effect on the ability of them to function.
Solar panel surfaces should be cleaned as frequently as possible on a regular basis.
In the event of a sand storm, cleaning must be immediate and thorough.
Current Cleaning methods
Most solar fields are cleaned by spraying water on the surface of the collectors using special sprayers Installed directly on the panels, or by manually sweeping them with a long telescopic broom that has an integrated hose to spray water on the surface.
The Sol Mann solution
Sol-mann is a specially-designed mobile device that transverses the solar panels and, as it moves forward, effectively brushes away the dust and dirt.
Sol mann provides the following direct benefits over traditional methods:
- Cleans solar panels without requiring water while being as efficient as conventional costly methods
- Extremelt cost-effective introducing major saving in water and manpower
- Returns a field to full production within a very short time after a sand storm
- Effectively cleans all surfaces without causing any damage to the abxorption surfaces
- Permits working around the clock and in all weather conditions
- Permits frequent cleaning ensuring maximum generation of energy from the field
