Problem/Opportunity
Neglecting Cleaning of Solar Panels Leads to Energy Efficiency Losses of Up to 30%
Solar power plants are established with multi-million-dollar investments. However, the inability to clean the panels regularly and properly can cause up to 30% energy efficiency loss while extending the investment return period.
In the sector, there are still issues such as:
- Incorrect cleaning practices carried out by untrained personnel,
- Use of hard water or manual scrubbing methods,
- Occupational safety risks such as electric shocks
This situation not only reduces the panel efficiency but also shortens their lifespan, leading to significant investments going to waste.
Solution
Safe and Efficient Cleaning with Locally Manufactured Robotic Cleaning Systems
Robys offers a solution to this critical cleaning need encountered in energy plants with 100% locally produced robotic cleaning systems.
- High cleaning efficiency is achieved with minimal water usage.
- Accidents caused by untrained personnel are prevented.
- Cleaning is done without damaging the panels, extending their lifespan.
Thanks to “custom-made” robots, which can be tailored to the plant’s size, solutions can be developed to meet the specific needs of each facility.
Output
As Robys robotic cleaning systems, in addition to the installation service, the outcomes we provide to our customers through the panel cleaning service include:
- The efficiency of solar panels can be increased by 10% to 30% through robotic cleaning.
- Solar panel cleaning preserves investments and reduces maintenance costs.
- By cleaning quickly and efficiently with robots, safety risks and long working hours leading to accidents are reduced.
- Investors reduce the payback period (ROI) by ensuring facilities operate efficiently.
- We improve the energy efficiency of our customers, extend the lifespan of panels, and contribute to making their plants more sustainable.
