With the use of solar panels, we can convert solar energy into electrical energy. However, keeping the solar panels clean presents numerous issues, since it necessitates the use of labour and results in lower efficiency. Our country's solar installed capacity is around 30.709 GW, and the Indian government has set a target of 100 GW by 2022.Nearly 42 solar parks have been built in India to provide land to solar plant developers. Solar panels' effectiveness decreases as a result of dust, grime, and moisture, and they become less efficient as well as less useful. Our project is a solution to these issues.

3. CELL TEMPRETURE As stated previously, expensive hazard: increased possibilities of an accident Problems with the lungs and respiratory organs are among the health issues that people face. Unavailability of labors for these jobs: workers are hesitant to take over work / jobs since they are not interested in doing them. Factors impacting solar power plant efficiency the state of the air According to new research, a combination of airborne pollutants and dust buildup can cause solar arrays to fail. Solar panels can only absorb a small percentage of the sunlight that strikes them, even in ideal conditions. The effectiveness of the solar panels was monitored over time as they became dirtier. They discovered that just a few weeks of build-up was enough to block out most of the sunlight.

1. INTRODUCTION This project is about a cleaning system for solar panels. When dust collects on PV panels, these systems move around the length of the panels and lean the surface using various techniques such as brushing, watering, and mopping. This project was chosen because of the working circumstances that occur when dust collects on the panels. Cleaning is done with the assistance of motors positioned on the sloped panels. A mechanical system that combines brushes and sponges with water sprinklers to effectively clean dust and stains caused by water droplets. The Mulshi solar power plant, a 3 MW solar
4. SOLUTION You should make sure that the solar panels are installed in such a way that they receive adequate airflow even as the temperature rises. When the temperature changes, the I-V and P-V properties at constant light are shown in the diagram [4]. Temperature effects are a byproduct of crystalline silicon cell-based modules' inherent characteristics. When the temperature drops, they produce more voltage, and when the temperature rises, they lose voltage. This temperature effect must be factored into any solar panel or system de-rating calculations.

5. SOLAR PITCH AND ORIENTATION
2. OVERVIEW
In the Northern Hemisphere, a non-tracking PV system should face true south. If you live in Flagstaff, Arizona, which is 35.2 degrees north of the equator, your panel should face directly south at a 35.2-degree angle. If the solar panels are to be mounted on a roof, remember to account for the roof's pitch. Adjust your solar panels twice a year for optimal performance. When the sun is high overhead in the summer, tilt the solar panel at a lower angle to catch more sunlight. Because the sun moves across
In March 2011, Tata Power Solar completed a 3 MW solar power facility for the company, using cells and modules developed in-house. The project was developed on 13 acres of land, with the site's natural landscape intact. This solar PV project in Mulshi, India, was completed in a recordbreaking nine months and put into service in two phases – 1 MW and 2 MW, respectively, in January and March 2011.
