Solar Energy converts heat from the sun into electricity, either directly making use of Photovoltaic (PV) or Compressed Solar Panel (CSP). This proposed project describes the implementation of a Smart Solar panel cleaning system with primary focus on making use of Internet of things (IoT) technology. This enables dust monitoring capability, advanced analysis and system control which prompts to increase the total efficiency of the solar PV panel.This projects contains dust sensor, rain sensor and wiping system with motor control.
