Automated Cleaning

Factoring in some panel performance loss has become an acceptable part of utility scale solar systems. It shouldn’t be.

 

While regular maintenance for inverters, wiring and other components ensure high plant availability, cost-effective cleanings for solar panels ensure the best energy output for systems. This is especially true at sites with high soiling seen in deserts and agricultural areas.

 

SPOT ­– the first, cost-effective robotic cleaning solution – provides simple and automated solar hygiene to prevent double-digit performance loss due to soiling. 

 

SPOT is programmable to wash panels daily, weekly or at any interval and can be activated from a computer, tablet or smart phone.

 

SPOT can also be used to manage overgrown vegetation. Through equipping SPOT with customized shears, SPOT can trim vegetation that can cast shadows on panels.
