Summary:The dust deposited on the surface makes a significant impact on the performance of photovoltaic modules. This paper mainly studies the sucker's reliability analysis of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot. The research is carried from two aspects, the mechanical analysis and the finite element analysis. The reliability including anti-slipping, anti-overturning, and anti-twisting is researched based on the mechanical model, while the influence of the mechanical load is studied by the finite element model of the PV module. According to the constrain conditions, the sucker of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot has been selected. Based on the prototype of PV cleaning robot, the reliability experiment is conducted to verify the sucker's reliability analysis.
