| Abstract: | |
| Pakistan is one of the countries with poor AQI due to pollution and dust. The latter has been silently degrading the performance of the installed PV system. Radon energy proposed a simple, cost-effective, and efficient solution for cleaning of Solar PV panels. | |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? | |
| Dust accumulated on the top of panels results in up to 50% loss of units generated. If the panel is cleaned more units will be produced and the life of solar Pv panels are prolonged. | |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? | |
| The solar PV system is rapidly being installed across the country, up to 2 GW of total capacity. since everyone is affected by dusting as the panels are installed in rooftops or open spaces. | |
| How will the solution works | |
| The cleaning system is divided into three categories which are manual cleaning, semi-automatic cleaning, and robotic cleaning. For residential systems cost-effective manual cleaning, for commercial PV systems semi-automatic systems and for industrial Pv systems the robotic cleaning system. | |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different | |
| No one is currently providing/manufacturing cleaning system in Pakistan, So we will the first cleaning system manufacturing startup in Pakistan. | |
