INTRODUCTION
Sun oriented energy is a resource of energy on earth. Sun based energy can be gotten as warmth to create power or it is additionally conceivable to change over sun based energy straightforwardly into power (photovoltaic module). Sun based energy is an essentially sans carbon sustainable asset. Creating power with sun based boards is the awesome most encouraging other option. Sun based force age, particularly in distant territories, is a promising and feasible answer for giving clean energy. Sunlight based energy can be utilized to handle the worldwide energy emergency. Albeit sun based force is promptly accessible, numerous components, for example, dust gathering or the foundation and temperature ascent of the phones, influence its utilization with a sunlight based board. Collection of residue or contamination is a main consideration influencing the presentation of sunlight based boards in the Middle East and Africa. Residue can be delegated particles under 500 microns in width. The decrease in the exhibition of the sun oriented module isn't uniform, as the amassing of residue isn't uniform and is exceptionally reliant on the states of the geological area. Reports have been distributed showing that the deficiency of energy creation because of contamination issues happens primarily in universes like PV or CSP (Concentrated Solar Energy) frameworks.

IV. METHODOLOGY

A. Surface coatings
Surface coatings treat the outside of the glass front of SPV boards and keep dust from sticking to the surface. Contingent upon the principle vulnerability to assault and the sort of residue, various kinds of surfaces and coatings valuable for the boards are accessible: (I) hydrophobic sort, which has a lower partiality for ionic species (ii) low energy type surface, which diminishes the surface compound response; (iii) synthetic sort which responds with tacky powder and (iv) oil coatings. The hydrophobic coatings make a high contact point between the outside of the SPV and the water drops, which permits the drops to roll openly over the outside of the SPV, subsequently eliminating dust. The compound replacement of the particle of gathering I with bunches II or III makes an answer of a water-safe or hydrophilic nature. The hydrophilic arrangements are intended to oppose dust gathering and the water layer considers successful cleaning of the SPV surface. Various sorts of covering blends are presently being contemplated. Notwithstanding, these are not industrially effective as drawn out UV openness forever harms coatings and bargains their strength as wind and sand can cause disintegration.

B. Removal of Dust and Dirt
The amassing of residue in the dusty climate on the sunlight based modules prompts a decline in the porousness of the module. Sun based desalination plants in some Middle Eastern nations, for example, the Abu Dhabi sun powered desalination plant experience the ill effects of residue development on their sun based boards. The impact of amassed dust is diminished as the point of tendency increments, since the point of tendency additionally influences the hour of openness to daylight. The most ideal approach to dispose of the effect of amassed dust on the sun based modules is to clean the modules. Cleaning sun based boards is generally done by washing, which is drawn-out and bulky, yet in addition exorbitant as far as work and time. By and by, the cleaning of sun based boards should be done every now and again. The strategy for cleaning reduces to characteristic methods, mechanical methods.

C. Block Diagram
The block diagram mainly consists of • AVR Micro-controller, Solar panel, Light Dependent resister, Motor, Brush  Fig. 2 shows the square diagram of the customized dust combination structure for the daylight based modules. This sensor recognizes the power of the air and its yield is given to the comparator. The comparator gets two signs, I. H. Board yield and sensor yield. Right when the sensor yield is high and the board yield is low stood out from the standard rating, the buildup assembled on the daylight based board and comparator offers the positive hint for cleaning. If the sensor yield is low and the board yield is furthermore low diverged from the standard rating, I. H. Night or turbulent season, no buildup on the sun situated board, so the comparator doesn't offer a positive hint for cleaning.
The comparator yield is passed to the ADC for change to a DC signal. The ADC yield is passed to the microcontroller to play out the accompanying cooperation. Dependent upon the comparator yield, the microcontroller offers rules to cleaning. The motor control IC is used to drive the motor to move and clean the social occasion.

D. Mechanical removal of dusts
Mechanical techniques eliminate dust by brushing, blowing, vibrating and ultrasonic directing. Brushing techniques clean the sun oriented cell with something like the brush or brush, fueled by the vehicle which was assembled very much like a windshield wiper. Notwithstanding, most importantly, the cleaning cycle is wasteful because of the little size and solid grip of the powder. Also, the terrible work space of the sun based cell makes machine support troublesome.
The cleaning machine is consequently incredible because of the huge estimated estimation of the sun oriented cell generator. At long last, the surfaces of the sun based cell may have been harmed by the brush during its cleaning. The blowing cycle for cleaning the sun oriented cell by wind energy is a productive cleaning measure, aside from the low proficiency, high energy utilization and unsuitable support of the fan. Vibration and ultrasonic residue expulsion is likewise a decent mechanical cleaning technique. The way in to this technique is the drive strategy, recurrence and a bundancy of the sunlight based cell.

E. Techniques to Improve/Maintain Solar PV Efficiency
Loss of brightening assumes a significant part in sun based energy creation. This can be brought about by factors that are important for the incorporated framework or an individual from the climate. Moreover, this outcomes in a decrease in the proficiency of the framework.
A portion of the issues influencing board execution require thought of the need to present another material that can be maximally used. Be that as it may, issues accordingly, including the impacts of residue and dampness, can be limited and the effectiveness of sun powered boards can be improved by cleaning the modules. Different techniques have been presented, with their own benefits and hindrances, the sole reason for which is to improve productivity through cleaning.
The cleaning of the sun powered modules should be possible both consequently and physically. Manual cleaning takes a ton of work. Likewise, manual cleaning can be helpful for families with few sunlight based boards. For huge scope projects, inclination is given to a robotized automated cleaning framework which would now be able to procure information continuously by noticing amassed dust, power produced and cleaning from now into the foreseeable future.
The many robotized frameworks fabricated today rely upon the scene where the sun oriented boards are found. They additionally rely upon the design of the boards. In light of these components, numerous advances have arisen that advance the exhibition of sun based boards through cleaning.

G. Working
The cleaning unit comes and goes on the solar panel. The cylindrical brush mounted on the cleaning unit rotates clockwise. The solar panel cleaning mechanism is controlled by an integrated system that uses a microcontroller that drives the DC motor and also controls the spray of water on the cleaning foam. The cleaning froth is wrapped on a shaft associated with the DC engine which pivots on the sun powered board at a speed of 30 RPM to clean it. The subsequent objective, to keep the temperature of the sun powered module at an ideal level, is to splash water on the froth. Along these lines, the froth fills two needs: to clean the soleplate and to keep an ideal temperature range. Readings were made with halogen radiation. Two 100 watt incandescent lights were utilized. The investigations were performed utilizing two incandescent lights so the impact of temperature could be inspected and a temperature range that starts when the productivity of the board starts to diminish. A halogen was at first lit, its temperature bit by bit expanded, and once the main halogen arrived at its most extreme temperature, the subsequent halogen was lit with the goal that the board temperature kept on rising.
