NOVELTY - The autonomous solar panel (10) has an energy transfer member (20) associated with solar panels (12), a sensor (24) in communication with the energy transfer member, a power supply (22), such as battery, connected to the energy transfer member, and a network (28) interconnecting the energy transfer member, sensor, and power supply. The network activates the energy transfer member so as to remove winter precipitation from the solar panel by using portion of stored power in power supply when the sensor detects accumulation of winter precipitation on solar panel.    USE - Autonomous solar panel for use in winter conditions to provide power to utility grid, e.g. solar parks, commercial property or building, as well as in residences. Can also be used by integrating into body of, or mounting on vehicle, such as truck, car, motorcycle, recreational vehicle, train, bus, and subway car.    ADVANTAGE - Effectively produces year round energy on a reliable and consistent basis, thus reducing carbon footprint, by diverting small portion of stored photovoltaic panel power to heat and/or mechanical energy generator to effectively remove winter precipitation in an autonomous manner. The autonomous system for photovoltaic solar panels operates efficiently in all winter weather conditions, and removes precipitation such as snow, frost, ice and sleet, to maximize and restore panel performance to peak solar energy output levels. The panels can independently remove winter precipitation through solar powered energy that is stored in a self-contained solar powered battery compartment. The system maximizes solar energy output of the solar panels and effectively provides higher level of efficiency throughout the entire daylight hours in a cost effective manner. Supports a green environment, reducing dependence on fossil fuels by making solar panel use effective in winter climates.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The energy transfer member has heater, such as serpentine heating wire (34) which is disposed across the entire solar panel cover. The network includes a heater switch (36) connecting the power supply to the sensor, a controller (38) connecting the sensor to the heater switch, and a charger connecting the solar panel to the battery. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (1) an autonomous solar panel cleaning system; and    (2) a circuit comprising solar panel.
