This innovative system leverages advanced image processing techniques to identify and quantify dust and dirt accumulation on solar panels, facilitating prompt and autonomous cleaning actions. The accumulation of dust, bird, or insect droppings on the surface of photovoltaic (PV) panels creates a barrier between the solar e ergy and the panel's surface to receive sufficient energy to generate electricity. The proposed algorithm uses a series of images of. .
