Proposta de Robô para Limpeza de Painéis Solares

Abstract

This study addresses the application of robotics in optimizing efficiency and sustainability in solar energy systems, focusing on cleaning and maintenance of solar panels. We explore how automation can improve energy performance, reduce operating costs and overcome challenges in challenging environments. The implementation of specialized robots not only ensures immediate efficiency by preventing dirt from accumulating in photovoltaic cells, but also promotes system longevity. Furthermore, we highlight the contribution to sustainability, minimizing dependence on non-renewable sources. Brazil stands out as a leader in the generation of photovoltaic solar energy, contributing to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. However, challenges such as maintaining and cleaning solar systems persist. In this context, the application of robotics appears as a promising solution to optimize operational efficiency and extend the useful life of solar panels, reducing the need for direct human intervention. This approach not only aims to maximize solar energy production, but also promotes environmental sustainability and global energy security, representing a significant step towards a cleaner, more renewable energy matrix.
