Dusting and dirtiness of solar panels is one of the main problems in the field of efficiency of solar panels. Covering the panels with dust and not cleaning them can reduce the energy production efficiency of these panels by 30-50% within a year, which means insufficient electricity production from these panels and waste of capital and energy. In the first chapter, this need and the necessity of doing this project was explained. The usual methods of cleaning solar panels are done manually by specialized workers in this field. These cleaning methods are time-consuming, costly and risky. Workers falling from high panels is one of the main problems in this type of cleaning. Different proposed methods are in use around the world. The method of cleaning the plates by installing water sprinklers is one of these methods that in our country due to the water crisis, these methods are considered unjustified or expensive. In the second chapter of this project, a proposed method for cleaning solar panels was presented. The proposed method is semi-automatic / automatic, which is a dry cleaning method. For this purpose, a two-axis robot was designed and developed, and its control levels were determined in three subsystems: cleaning, transmission and control. Next, the process of making the robot was done and it was explained in chapter 3. The criteria for the construction and selection of components for each of these subsystems, in order of importance, were: 1- strength, 2- cost, 3- weight. The developed robot was tested and eva‎luated and showed acceptable performance in dust cleaning. In chapter 4, the business model for the industrialization of this robot and its entry into the domestic market was designed and presented. In chapter 5, limitations and engineering standards related to this project were defined. And in chapter 6, summarization and conclusion were made and suggestions for the development of this product were presented.
