Permanently Installed Waterless Cleaning Robot for Utility Scale Solar Farms

As an intelligent solar panel cleaning system, our soiling control solution is underpinned by smart cloud management platform, which allow for remote monitoring and task scheduling when the solar equipment undertaking automated cleaning in the faraway project sites. Proper intervention can be carried out conveniently from Web and App portals through 4G signal during the whole cleaning process.

Autonomous navigation function is developed for improved operational efficiently. The robot can travel freely across the solar arrays, uploading positioning data and body gesture status in real time to the operation platform. To ensuring stable and reliable movement, the equipment supports proactive posture correction to avoid jam-up in the unattended cleaning process.

The solar cleaning machine features all round safety and powerful motion configurations: Dual-directional four-wheel-drive system, powering strong climbing capacity up to 20°; Additional guide wheels is installed on both ends to prevent falling off due to external forces, which might cause serious injury to the onsite personnel and solar station facilities.

This solar robot model is made for complex and extreme environmental conditions with high-strength and lightweight material. Comprehensive IP65 protection against heat, rain, dust and wind, ensures all-weather operation.

For safe and effective cleaning performance, we employ soft roller brush rotating at high speed, achieving scratch-free soiling removal effect when the flexible bristles gently touch the photovoltaic panel surfaces. The brushing component follows a special spiral structure, efficiently cleaning out built-up dirt over time, to avoid hotspots damage to the solar modules.

Unlike conventional corded charging or manual battery replacement for mobile solar clean robot, the hanging type solar cleaning robot has integrated smart solar charging function by using onboard photovoltaic panel for self-use, involving no electric connection hassles from mains power system, which keeps automatic cleaning operations uninterrupted around the clock.

We select temperature resilient battery for the robot, fitting for harsh working conditions ranging from -30°C to 60°C. Besides, it can track battery level and triggers automatic return to the initial parking bay when the battery SOC drops below allowable working voltage.

As the solar O&M is moving towards fine management, our advanced solar panel cleaning system is born for this objective: to significantly reduce the investment payback period by retrieving otherwise lost energy generation yields from soiling; to effectively contain operational risks and expenses by employing more reliable and consistent cleaning technology compared to conventional methods.
