About
Manish Kumar Ghodki is a researcher focused on sustainable automation and renewable energy systems, with key contributions in solar panel maintenance and industrial motor efficiency. His most impactful work addresses the critical issue of dust accumulation on solar panels, which can reduce energy output by up to 30%. Ghodki developed an innovative infrared-based dust mitigation system operated by a robotic arm, detailed in his 2022 paper (31 citations), which uses IR sensors and a sprinkler-controlled embedded controller for automatic cleaning. This system, along with his earlier 2019 design (10 citations), offers a practical, low-cost solution for maintaining solar panel performance in dusty environments, directly supporting the reliability of solar energy systems. Beyond solar cleaning, Ghodki has advanced energy-saving approaches for industrial applications. His 2020 paper (3 citations) introduces a novel solar-powered master-slave electric motor system for conveyor belts, addressing motor overheating from hot products. This work was extended in 2022 (2 citations) to biomass conveyors, demonstrating a hardware prototype that keeps motors within normal temperature ranges. Ghodki’s research bridges renewable energy and automation, offering scalable solutions for both residential solar installations and industrial material handling, with a clear focus on practical, energy-efficient outcomes.
