The main objective of this work is to design a low-cost prototype for automatic dust removal from PV modules using two microcontrollers. . How to detect surface dust on solar photovoltaic panels? At present, the main methods for detecting surface dust on solar photovoltaic panels include object detection, image segmentation and instance segmentation, super-resolution image generation, multispectral and thermal infrared imaging, and. . In response to these challenges, a novel automated mechanism for cleaning solar panels is introduced in this paper, effectively eliminating dust particles. The analytical findings strongly indicate that consistent and periodic cleaning of panels can uphold a stable rate of electricity generation. . PV panels are installed in an open-spaced setting and then exposed to dust, dirt, and debris which significantly reduce their power output, making regular cleaning essential. Therefore, the necessity of developing modern cleaning systems is a crucial task. Handy i formation to readers,engineers,and practitioners.
