Abstract
A solar panel cleaning system includes: an automated cleaning device for cleaning a surface of a reference cell panel; a cleaning device controller in communication with a motor of the automated cleaning device, the cleaning device controller configured to receive a signal corresponding to measurement of a current of photovoltaic system. The cleaning device controller activates the automated cleaning device to clean a surface of the reference cell panel when the received signal indicates that a measurement of the current of the photovoltaic system is to be taken.
