Abstract

A cleaning apparatus for a solar panel, comprising a controlling device and a solar panel, wherein the controlling device is installed either on bottom portion or lower back of the back portion of the solar panel. A driving motor of the controlling device is controlled by means of setting the timer, so that the driven cleaner will be driven to clean up the surface of the solar panel on the presetting time. Since the structural constitution of the present invention is simple, so that the maintenance cost can be reduced significantly. Thus, the objects of simplifying the structure and reducing the maintenance costs are achieved.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cleaning apparatus for a solar panel, comprising:
 a controlling device having a driving motor and a timer, wherein a driven cleaner is assembled with the driving motor; and   a solar panel having a bottom portion, the controlling device is installed on such bottom portion.   
     
     
         2 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the driven cleaner is in the form of brush. 
     
     
         3 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the driven cleaner is in the form of foam. 
     
     
         4 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the solar panel comprises a back portion, and the controlling device is installed on the lower back of the back portion. 
     
     
         5 . A cleaning apparatus for a solar panel, comprising:
 a controlling device having a driving motor and a timer, wherein a driven cleaner is assembled with the driving motor;   a solar panel having a bottom portion, the controlling device is installed on such bottom portion; an electrical junction box is installed on the back portion of the solar panel having an electric wire; and   a power conditioner having the input connectors connecting with the electrical junction box and the driving motor by electric wires, and an output connector connecting with a power loading.   
     
     
         6 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the driven cleaner is in the form of brush. 
     
     
         7 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the driven cleaner is in the form of foam. 
     
     
         8 . An apparatus as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the solar panel comprises a back portion, and the controlling device is installed on the lower back of the back portion.
