In order to improve the efficiency of solar energy solar energy<\/a><\/strong>the Scientific and Technological Center of Valparaiso (CCTVal) of the Federico Santa Maria Technical University is advancing in the development of a robot destined to clean solar panels.<\/strong> The device is designed to eliminate “soiling”, a term that describes the accumulation of dirt that can reduce the efficiency of solar panels. efficiency of the panels by up to 30%.<\/a><\/strong> by up to 30%.<\/p>\n\n

Chile leads the way with robotics in solar panel cleaning<\/h2>\n\n

Dr. Christian Orellana, who is leading the project, mentioned that the robot<\/a><\/strong> is configured to operate uninterruptedly, working every day of the week at any time.\nThis development promises to optimize the production of photovoltaic energy<\/a><\/strong> and contribute significantly to the decarbonization of Chile’s energy matrix, especially in regions such as the north, where resources are more limited. <\/p>\n\n

Currently, the Atacama Region is home to the largest number of solar panels in the world. solar panels<\/a><\/strong> in the country and represents an important part of South America’s photovoltaic capacity.\nAccording to Dr. Orellana, this advance is a crucial step towards the generation of greener energies<\/strong> and energy diversification in the national sector. <\/p>\n\n

Patenting process and strategic collaborations<\/h2>\n\n

This project is financed by the Corporaci\u00f3n de Fomento de la Producci\u00f3n (Corfo), with the collaboration of the Atamostec consortium<\/a><\/strong>.\nUniversidad T\u00e9cnica Federico Santa Mar\u00eda, through its Technology Transfer and Licensing Office, is in the process of patenting this technology.\nDuring a recent visit to the university facilities, Atamostec’s general manager, Jos\u00e9 Miguel Arriaza, and his technical team had the opportunity to evaluate the prototype, highlighting its potential to advance the Chilean solar industry. <\/p>\n\n
