Instructables solar panel robot.

The larger each cell is the more current it can generate. Solar power manager 5v is a small power and high efficiency solar power management module designed for 5v solar panel. This robot can help us to clean our solar panels on a daily basis it will use little amount of water harvested from rain and convert that water at the time of cleaning in to mist. Soldering iron solder hot glue gun a helping hand is nice as well wire cutters or strong scissors.

The solar panel stores energy over time by charging the capacitor in the circuit. Projects in this class use the rugged 6v solar panels made by voltaic available in 2w 3 5w 6w or 9w. The high speed moving roller will remove the hard dust particles from the surface. This allows the bot to run off of the sun but not be entirely reliant upon it to move.

Instead of having it be powered entirely off the sun i decided to. The dfrobot solar power manager series are designed for iot projects and renewable energy projects providing safe and high efficiency embedded solar power management modules for makers and application engineers. The solar panel is also recharging the batteries when the sun hits it. By replacing the led s with motors and putting in a more powerful battery pack we do two things to this circuit.

Solar photovoltaic renewable electron encapsulator a compact durable and portable solar energy generator. The circuit will still charge the batteries but only while the robot is on. They can be anything super cute option. Solar panels are available in a variety of different voltages depending on how many photovoltaic cells it contains.

The circuit from the solar light is meant to charge a battery from the panel during the day and discharge that battery through 2 led s at night. 1 5v solar panel 1 small dc vibrating motor aka pager motor two paper clips scrap wire i used the ends from a couple of resistors i had cut down. Solar panel cleaning robot. I bought a pack of 10 solar panels off ebay for 10.

The circuit for the robot is very simple it has no digital electronics. The more cells the higher the voltage.
