MANTA SOLAR: HOW TO READ THE DISPLAY AND OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE USING THE WIRELESS SYSTEM
The care and maintenance of solar panels require state-of-the-art equipment that is easy to use, precise and efficient. Through the technological renewal of the Manta Solar solar panel broom, U.Emme has aimed at creating an innovative system combining a wireless touchscreen display with ultrasonic sensors, which altogether offer the best performance in the cleaning of photovoltaic panels, simplifying the whole control process of the position of the broom on the surface to be cleaned.
Operation and information provided by the sensors The Manta Solar broom is equipped with four strategically positioned sensors (UP LEFT, UP RIGHT, DOWN LEFT, DOWN RIGHT) that monitor the distance of the broom from the panels. These sensors are the heart of this piece of equipment and allow the operator to view important information on the display, which provides a clear visual indication of the broom position on the surface to be cleaned in real time.
Using coloured bars, the display infographics provides an immediate guide on the correct position of the broom. Colours are easy to understand and allow the operator to promptly intervene if the broom is too far from or too close to the panel. Below is the meaning of the different colours.
– White: The broom is not in the correct position since it is too far from the panel, making cleaning ineffective.
– Green: The broom is in the correct position for best cleaning. When the light of all 4 sensors is green, you get the best position of the Manta Solar broom.
– Yellow: The broom is in a borderline position, since cleaning is still possible but there is the risk of getting too close to the solar panels in case of subsidence.
– Red: The broom is too close to the panel, so there is a high risk of impact with the photovoltaic panels and it is thus necessary to reposition the broom.
Together with the red light, a long-lasting sound signal is also emitted to help the operator correct the position as required. The display not only signals the position of the broom, but it also includes smart indicators providing further details for complete control. Bluetooth connection indicator: When the icon is green, it means that the application is correctly connected to the system. If it is not green, it is necessary to repeat the connection process. Rotation reversal button: It allows the operator to change the broom direction with a clear visual indication on the display through the change of the icon colour.
