Abstract : Due to the height difference of photovoltaic arrays or errors in manual installation , there will be falls and other phenomena at the spacing of the photovoltaic panel when the robot is mounted on the photo-voltaic panel for operation , which may cause damage to the frame of the photovoltaic panel. In view of this , according to the assembly relationship between the robot and the photovoltaic panel , taking the two vertical assemblies of the photovoltaic panel as the reference and the main body on both sides as the main bearing part , the influence of the robot on the photovoltaic panel is analyzed under different assembly methods of the support purlin and the photovol- taic panel , different inclination angles of the photovoltaic panel , different drop and different running speeds of the robot. The results show that under the condition of load-bearing at both ends , the robot running at the maximum speed of 417 mm/s and the height of the module steps less than 5 cm , there will be no damage to the photovoltaic module , which provides a reference for the large-scale appli- cation of the photovoltaic cleaning robot in the existing photovoltaic power station.
