AN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM FOR MONITORING, FORECASTING AND OPERATION OF A DUST CLEANING MECHANISM FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS

The present invention relates to an autonomous system for monitoring, forecasting and operation of a dust cleaning device for photovoltaic panels comprising an automatic data processing system (18) operating artificial intelligence program (19) for determining as to when and how long to clean solar panel (1) by solar panel surface cleaning device, wherein the automatic data processing system (18) operates the panel cleaning device through the artificial intelligence program (19) comprising an artificial neural network (ANN) for forecasting and a fuzzy logic (FL) for determining the cleaning schedules. Further, the ANN forecasts the next day?s solar power generation values based on historical generation values with which it is trained and the program (19) refers fuzzy tables of the FL to determine the cleaning schedules, wherein input data to the ANN comprises of daily power generation data captured on hourly basis for the prior couple of years.
