Abstract
Cleaning system including a brush assembly for cleaning solar panels. The brush assembly has at least one rotatable brush having a rotational axis. The rotatable brush includes a plurality of sets of bristles, each extending outwardly from a core. A shaft extends through the core of the brush. The shaft is a telescoping shaft, which is configured to retract and expand to create an elongated brush assembly. An apparatus, system, and method for conveying an assembly along a track. A rail includes a first planar side, a second planar side, and a third planar side. The first, second and third planar sides are arranged to form at least two acute angles ranging between 50 degrees and 80 degrees. A carriage assembly includes a drive wheel and at least two rollers. The drive wheel is configured to contact the second planar side and is configured to translate the assembly along the rail. The two rollers are configured to contact the two other sides to maintain the carriage in contact with the rail.
