Abstracts: In the present world use of Natural Resources to generate Electricity is increasing exponentially. One of major Method used for generating Electricity by using natural resources is Solar Power Plants. Solar Power Plants are very efficient in generating electricity, but they are largely affected by the dust accumulation on the solar panel glass so the efficiency of the solar power decreases notably. Which affects the total power output of the solar power plant by 10% to 20%. So it is necessary to clean the solar panels regularly. We can use water to clean the solar panels but it has some disadvantages, unavailability of water as most of the solar plants are in desert areas & also we need to use RO water to protect the solar panel body from rust, also the RO water plant is costly. Also process of cleaning by water is tedious because water creates mud on the road and also some time requires brush to clean the panel & it is also difficult to provide water in every corner of big solar farms. So here in our project we are going to make an Automatic Dry Cleaning system which will be used to clean the solar panels automatically without using any water.
