Abstract

The present invention is related to a solar panels cleaning, protection and efficiency optimization system (1), that controls the solar panel (3) radiation harvesting in a modular and phased way. The system has a set of solar tubes (5 - 12) cover equipment (2), that are enabled and disabled according with the measurements performed by a thermal sensor (4) placed at the panel (3) exit, or by other conditions defined by the electronics microcontroller (14) of the system, performing also cleaning and protection actions of the tubes (5 - 12) surface, by using a rubber connected to their surface. The present invention is useful to optimize the solar panels energy efficiency, eliminating the problems associated to the overheating, that occurs when the solar availability is high, allowing also to reduce the solar panels maintenance actions.
