Robot Cleaning Solar Panels Data and Video



Video showing the movement and function of Robot Cleaning Solar Panels.

GEKKO robot cleaning solar panels
The GEKKO III Junior cleaning robot is walking on a steep solar plant and cleans it with water and its brush. The surface gets very clean and increases the efficiency of a solar plant immensely. The robot is designed to climb around on even vertical surfaces and won't need any additional complicated installations. This allows for a lot of versatility and easy use. The GEKKO robot is a product of the Serbot AG in Switzerland in cooperation Niederberger-Engineering AG.

Instapark® 30W Mono-crystalline Solar Panel With a 12V solar charge controller
Tired of all the noise and smell from your diesel generator? The Instapark SPCC-30W offers you a quiet, clean while carbon-free alternative. Capable of converting virtually unlimited solar energy into clean, green, most importantly, free electricity, the Instapark SPCC-30W includes a 30-Watt mono-crystalline solar panel with solar charge controller. This solar panel is made of high efficiency mono-crystalline solar cells embedded in transparent vinyl acetate behind tempered glass with heavy back sheet ensuring maintenance free performance. Unlike amorphous solar panels, which only last about 5-7 years of continuous use, mono-crystalline solar panels can still retain over 80% of efficiency even after 25 years of continuous use. Also, the mono-crystalline panels are much more efficient and thus smaller in size while producing higher wattage. This kit is designed and engineered to primarily charge 12-Volt batteries, which store and provide usable power when needed, ideal for powering your RVs, ATV, marine boats and electronic equipments. The included solar charge controller helps prevent any connected batteries from overcharging. Other than recreational applications, solar power can also help lower your energy bills by reducing your dependence on the main electrical grid and provide back-up power during power outages.

Beam Robot 1

The Incredible Walking Machine
This robot is a solar bicore walker that does not use a "solar
engine"
The circuit and motors are powered directly
from the 30 or so milliamps (in full sun) provided by a 37mm x 66mm
solar panel. On July 8, 2001 he took his first real world walks
showing the ability to walk over rough terrain including through
gravel, sand, dirt and some grass. WOW! With his feelers now
installed and his new wide traction rear legs, I am very
pleased with his overall performance.

Green MachineAKA "My B.I.O.-BUG Hack"

The Plan: Rip the Hasbro toy bug guts out of a B.I.O.-Bug and turn
him into a true green BEAM machine. I want him to be solar
powered and able to walk continuously when in direct sun.
The circuits should be analog, BEAM, and as simple as possible
while still allowing robust enough behavior to give him
a chance for autonomous survival.

SunEater V


The SunEater_V behaviour is based on three rules:
-If no feeler switches are closed, the motors will obey the `eyes'.
SunEater_V moves towards the best light, while trying to avoid
shadow patches.
- If one of the feelers touches an obstacle, SunEater_V "follows
the wall" in the direction of the better light. Both this and the first
behaviour are illustrated
here. Thanks to the `mechanical memory'
- the robot keeps a feeler in contact with an obstacle during evasive
action - the motion remains deliberate, even if the voltage drops to
zero between steps.
- With both feeler switches closed, the robot will push
against one of them, trying to get free.
