Solar panels with an automatic cleaning and sun-tracking system have been developed at Omsk State Technical University (OmSTU). This was reported by the university's press service.
The developed automatic panel cleaning system sprays water on the surface of the solar battery in warm weather, and a special anti-icing liquid in freezing weather.
This allows you to wash away all the dust from the surface quickly and with little water consumption. For winter, we have created an oil-free anti-icing fluid that cleans the panel in 12 seconds.
The new panels rotate perpendicularly to the sun's rays. This allows you to achieve maximum energy production.
The system is based on knowledge of the astronomical position and trajectory of the sun during the day. This eliminates the need to use special sensors. The simplified cleaning system reduces operating costs, increases the reliability of solar batteries and reduces the cost of their production by 20-40%.
In addition, the new panel orientation optimization technology can increase the productivity of solar power plants by 30-60%. Their regular cleaning also helps to increase efficiency by 20-95%.
The developers plan to launch a pilot project at the solar station of the Omsk Oil Refinery. This will allow testing the system, optimizing it and entering the market.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the first large solar power plants with Russian panels were launched in the Urals.
