Abstract: The present invention relates to a rei surface of a solar photovoltaic panel without or on grid power. A dust and soiling senst continuously monitors surface obscuration when accumulated dust crosses a threshold drop in panel output. trofit apparatus for cleaning the exposed t depending on a fixed cleaning schedule r mounted on or near the panel surface and issues a cleaning command only that would otherwise cause a measurable On receiving this command, a carri wiper traverses the panel along a guide To particulate matter from the glazing without operating power from a small buffer batter] tap connected across the panel's own output timing of a cleaning cycle is decoupled from which is typically depressed precisely whet The apparatus is dimensioned for a si and is designed as the first, self-containec family, leaving provision for a later, sepi attachment without altering the cleaning mi net energy yield of an installed solar panel maintenance labour, and lowers the water wet panel-cleaning practice.
