Abstract
A solar panel system for operation in airborne particulate environments is provided. The system includes solar panels and a frame having slider structures on opposing sides configured to receive the solar panels. A brush cleaner spans a full width of the solar panels and includes end structures coupled with the slider structures for linear movement along a length of the solar panels, a brush extending between the two end structures, and a top panel having an array comprising two sets of holes. A light source is configured to emit light toward the solar panels, and an optical sensor is configured to detect dust on the solar panels. A plate attached to one side of the brush cleaner includes air nozzles configured to blow air based on dust detection, and an air compressor box is positioned on one end structure to power the air nozzles without obstructing light or airflow.
