Drone systems for cleaning solar panels and methods of using the same

This invention describes a drone system designed to clean surfaces such as solar panels. The drone uses sensors to detect the exact position and shape of the surface, then its onboard computer plans a precise cleaning path. It then applies cleaning fluid from an internal tank through a distribution device.

Why it matters: Since 2022, significant advancements in AI-driven computer vision and autonomous path planning software have made the drone's ability to precisely map surfaces and determine optimal cleaning routes much more robust and efficient.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, sensor integration, precise drone control.
