The invention provides photovoltaic sweeping equipment and a control method thereof. The photovoltaic sweeping equipment comprises a photovoltaic component and a photovoltaic sweeping device for sweeping the photovoltaic component, wherein the photovoltaic sweeping device comprises a framework, a rolling brush, moving wheels and an automatic control system; a moving wheel driving side component and a rolling brush driving side component are correspondingly arranged at two ends of the framework; the automatic control system comprises a control unit and two distance sensors; induction blocks arearranged at two ends of the photovoltaic component; and two distance sensors are correspondingly in wireless connection with the induction blocks to induce the induction blocks so as to send induction signals. According to the photovoltaic sweeping equipment and the control method thereof, targeted sweeping can be performed according to the amount of dust of the photovoltaic component, and an impact force on the photovoltaic component from the photovoltaic sweeping device can be effectively reduced in case of shutdown.
