Dirty panels can lose up to 30% power output

Stop Losing Revenue
to Panel Soiling

Manual cleaning is slow, dangerous, and inconsistent. Our automatic solar panel cleaning robots keep your panels clean — so you generate more power, spend less on O&M, and maximize your solar ROI.

See why dirty panels matter

The cost of ignoring panel soiling

Every Day of Dust on Your Panels
Means Revenue Left on the Table

Lower Power Output

Panel soiling can reduce energy output by up to 30%. That's thousands in lost revenue per MW every year.

Higher Labor Cost

Manual cleaning requires large crews, repeated scheduling, and expensive water trucks — costs that scale with site size.

Safety Exposure

Workers on rooftops and steep slopes face fall hazards, electrical risks, and heat stress. Every manual clean is a safety incident waiting to happen.

Inconsistent Results

Manual cleaning quality varies by crew, weather, and technique. Some areas get missed. Streaks and residue reduce output further.

Manual Cleaning vs. Automatic Robot

Manual Cleaning
Labor-intensive — requires large crews
Safety hazards on rooftops & steep slopes
High water consumption
Inconsistent quality, missed spots
Cannot clean at night or in bad weather
Robot Cleaning
One operator, remote control — minimal labor
No workers on panels — zero fall risk
Dry-brush mode — no water needed
Consistent, thorough coverage every pass
Automated scheduling — 24/7 operation possible

Match your site to the right robot

What Kind of Solar Site
Are You Operating?

Different sites have different cleaning challenges. We've matched every scenario to the robot that solves it best — so you don't have to guess.

Questions buyers actually ask

FAQ — Real Concerns, Real Answers

These are the questions our customers ask before they buy. If you have one we haven't listed, reach out directly — we'll answer honestly.

Standard lead time is 15–25 working days after order confirmation. For OEM/ODM orders, lead time depends on customization scope — typically 30–45 days. We ship by sea freight (standard) or air freight (urgent). Full tracking provided. Each unit is individually packaged with foam protection and tested before shipment.
Before you order, we conduct a site-matching consultation — slope angle, panel layout, array size, and cleaning requirements. This ensures the right model is selected. If an issue arises after delivery that was not identified during consultation, we work with you to find a solution — model swap, configuration adjustment, or field support.
No. Our brushes use UV-resistant PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) filaments — soft enough to protect anti-reflective coatings, durable enough for 20,000+ cleaning cycles with less than 1% attenuation. The brush speed and pressure are calibrated for solar panel glass, not industrial floors.
Standard warranty: 1 year covering motor, controller, and battery defects. Extended warranty available for OEM/ODM partners. After-sales includes: remote troubleshooting (video call), spare parts fast shipping, field engineer dispatch for large projects, and lifetime firmware updates for cloud-connected models (BL-DH4000).
Yes. Full OEM (private label) and ODM (custom design) services are available. Customization includes: brand logo & packaging, cleaning width, battery configuration (capacity / chemistry), brush type and density, communication protocol (for local IoT standards), color scheme, and certification requirements (CE, UL, etc.). Minimum order quantities apply for custom configurations.
Yes — for dust and loose particulate soiling (the most common type on solar panels), dry brush cleaning is highly effective. The rotating brush dislodges dust while the robot's forward motion sweeps it away. Dry mode is especially effective in desert, Gobi, and arid environments where water is scarce. For stubborn stains (bird droppings, sap, industrial residue), wet mode on the HW4000/HT4000 is recommended.

Still have questions? We answer honestly — even if it means recommending a different approach.
