Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de nettoyage pour des panneaux solaires lorsque de la neige, de la glace, ou de la poussière s'accumule sur les panneaux solaires pour réduire ou éliminer la puissance électrique produite par les panneaux solaires, le procédé de nettoyage comprend la sélection de zones de nettoyage spécifiques, sur le réseau de panneaux solaires, sur la base principalement de la zone d'obstruction et des différences de taille d'obstruction. Le procédé de nettoyage comprend en outre la sélection incrémentielle et séquentielle de zones de nettoyage, et l'activation incrémentielle et séquentielle de dispositifs de nettoyage dans les zones de nettoyage sélectionnées. Des groupes supplémentaires de dispositifs de nettoyage activés de manière incrémentielle et séquentielle peuvent être alimentés, en totalité ou en partie, par les panneaux solaires antérieurs qui ont été nettoyés.
