With the rapid development of photovoltaic power stations, the accumulation of dust on the surface of solar panels has become an important factor affecting the efficiency of power stations. Dust coverage will reduce the light transmittance of photovoltaic panels, leading to power loss. In order to effectively address this issue, intelligent cleaning robots, as an emerging technology, have gradually been applied to the cleaning and maintenance of photovoltaic power stations. In this study, by analyzing the cleaning effect of intelligent cleaning robots, comparing their cleaning efficiency and power recovery under different environmental conditions, the performance of intelligent cleaning robots in reducing power loss caused by dust obstruction is evaluated. Intelligent cleaning robots can effectively reduce the impact of dust accumulation on the efficiency of power stations, improve the power generation capacity of photovoltaic power stations, and have high economic benefits and environmental advantages.
