The future of robotic solar cleaning

Kim Verduyckt • January 25, 2023


"The cleaning challenges and cleaning needs in the solar industry are changing a lot. But how to deal with these huge installations that are coming everywhere? We don't talk about Megawatts anymore, but about Gigawatts! How to deal with this installation where you absolutely need dry cleaning for example? The idea is that, at Solarcleano we really think that innovation is part of our DNA. It's not just a sentence. That's the common belief of the full team at Solarcleano. The first thing we really thought about was how to deal with these huge installations that need to be cleaned as fast as possible.

So for that, we developed the Solarcleano B1 that is able to clean day and night, up to 15MW per day, dry or wet cleaning. So this solution is going to be your best friend for Solar Farm ground mounted solutions."




"Next to that, there is still the big challenge of the huge rooftops where you also need some solutions that are able to clean all the time, day and night. For that, we develop the F1A (Autonomous). This solution is also able to clean day and night, during the full year, dry cleaning, and will be your best friend for commercial solar rooftops.


As I've said before, innovation is part of our DNA and
our main goal is to innovate for the solar field of the future."

The future of robotic solar cleaning is looking bright as technology continues to advance and the demand for clean and sustainable energy sources increases.


One of the main advantages of robotic solar cleaning is the ability to access and clean hard-to-reach areas of solar panels, such as the tops of tall buildings or large solar fields. This not only improves the efficiency of the solar panels by removing dirt and debris, but it also eliminates the need for human maintenance workers to put themselves in potentially dangerous situations.


Another advantage of robotic solar cleaning is the ability to perform cleaning tasks with greater precision and consistency. Robots can be programmed to clean solar panels in a specific pattern with equal pressure, ensuring that each panel is cleaned to the same standard.


Additionally, the use of robotic cleaners can reduce the amount of water used in the cleaning process, which is important for areas that may have water scarcity.


In addition to these benefits, solar cleaning becomes more widely adopted. This will make it more affordable for solar panel operators to invest in robotic cleaning systems, making it a more viable option for them.


With AI advancing in record speed, we can expect to see even more advanced robotic cleaning systems that are able to clean solar panels more quickly and efficiently than ever before. Solarcleano, market leader in solar cleaning robotics, is already has the B1 and the F1A that can navigate around the panels on their own, using sensors to detect the dirt and debris, and then applying the right cleaning solution.


As the demand for clean energy continues to grow, the use of robotic solar cleaning will become increasingly important to ensure that solar panels are operating at their maximum efficiency. With the many benefits that robotic cleaning offers, it is definitely a technology to keep an eye on in the coming years!
