friendly substitute that effectively cleans water bodies and
protects ecosystems while reducing carbon emissions and
operating expenses. They do this by using the energy of the
sun.

Future studies should concentrate on improving the

efficiency and design of solar-based cleaners in order to
improve their effectiveness and broaden their application in
various environmental conditions. Achieving environmental
sustainability targets will also depend heavily on initiatives to
encourage the use of these sustainable technologies through
legislative incentives and public awareness campaigns.

In conclusion, solar-powered water body cleaners are an

innovative approach to environmental remediation that holds
great promise for the future. They provide a means of
achieving better ecosystems, cleaner water, and a more
sustainable future for future generations.
