Abstract

The rapid growth of the global population has led to raise in energy consumption, resulting in a higher demand for energy production. This production is classified into two categories, conventional and non-conventional sources. Conventional sources of energy release a large amount greenhouse gas, which have detrimental effects on the environment. To combat these negative effects, it is crucial to transition towards non-conventional, renewable energy sources. Conventional energy is more sustainable and clean option compared to fossil fuels. Utilizing technology such as photovoltaic cells can greatly lessen our reliance on traditional energy sources. One challenge that renewable energy faces is the deposition of dust on solar panels, which can decrease their efficiency. Various coatings can be applied to prevent dust buildup, but they do not completely eliminate the issue. This study aims to investigate that how much effectively using an automated mechanical vibrator with a water injector to remove dust and debris from solar panels in which the efficiency of the panel is increased from 18% to 20 %. By improving the maintenance of solar panels, we can increase their efficiency and overall performance in generating renewable energy.
