Abstract:

A solar power cleaning system is provided including a fluid supply line. A first end of the fluid supply line is utilized for receiving water. A second end of the fluid supply line is coupled to a plurality of nozzles for dispensing fluid onto solar panels. The cleaning system also includes a housing. Disposed within the housing is a valve for regulating soap from a storage compartment into the fluid supply line. The valve is controlled by a programmable controller. When the valve is open, soap mixes with water and is dispensed onto the solar panels via the nozzles. When the valve is closed, water may be dispensed onto the solar panels. A filter may be coupled to the fluid supply line to remove impurities from the water before dispensation onto the solar panels. A motor and pump may also be disposed within the housing to regulate the fluid pressure within the fluid supply line.
