The invention discloses an automatic surface cleaning vehicle for photovoltaic (PV) panels (102) that is capable of moving on the surface of the said panel. The system comprises of a surface cleaning device (816) mounted on a retractable supporting frame which is collectively called as an Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle (UAV) (101). The invention provides for an automatic cleaning system that also collects data about the amount of dust accumulated on the surface of the photovoltaic panel (102) and details of any damage found on the surface. A motor driving circuit is further comprised in the unmanned, autonomous vehicle (101) to control direction and motion of the unmanned, autonomous vehicle (101).
