Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a wireless inductive power transfer system for autonomous cleaning of solar panels. The system comprises a solar panel mounting frame integrated with a plurality of inductive transmitter coils forming a transmitter grid, and at least one mobile cleaning module positioned on the solar panel surface. The transmitter coils generate an alternating magnetic field in the low-frequency range of 85–135 kHz to enable wireless power transfer through inductive coupling. Each cleaning module includes an inductive receiver coil, power rectifier and regulator, microcontroller, motion control circuitry, optical edge detection sensors, and a cleaning mechanism comprising micro-brushes, electrostatic dust removal elements, or vibration-based actuators. The module operates without batteries, charging docks, or wired connections, enabling continuous autonomous cleaning. The invention improves solar panel efficiency, reduces maintenance requirements, and provides a scalable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly cleaning solution.
