About

K. Srikanta Murthy is a researcher whose work centers on renewable energy systems and robotics, with a particular focus on enhancing the efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. His most-cited paper, "Solar Powered PV Panel Cleaning Robot" (2020), addresses a critical challenge in solar energy: the accumulation of dust on PV panels, which significantly reduces their efficiency by blocking sunlight. Murthy’s contribution lies in designing an autonomous, solar-powered cleaning robot that maintains panel performance without external energy sources, thereby improving the viability of solar power in dusty environments. This work has garnered 31 citations, reflecting its practical relevance to sustainable energy solutions. By integrating robotics with renewable energy, Murthy demonstrates a commitment to solving real-world operational hurdles in solar adoption. His research is particularly valuable for students and engineers exploring automated maintenance systems for green technologies, showcasing how interdisciplinary approaches can optimize energy output and reduce manual intervention.
