Robotic solar panel cleaning

Solar panel cleaning that measurably increases yield — with manufacturer-approved technology.

Cleaning of solar farms and rooftop systems by robot, with chemical-free water — the panel surface stays free of scratches and micro-cracks. We don't clean unnecessarily: only when the yield increase pays for the cost.

Common types of soiling

It's not just "a dusty panel" — we know exactly what we are dealing with

Bird dropping removal

Not just an aesthetic problem: the shadow spot forming on the panels can cause hot spots and significantly reduces yield locally.

Dust and industrial deposits

A particularly common, persistently recurring problem at solar farms next to farmland, industrial zones or busy roads.

Pollen and flower dust

A seasonal, thin but evenly spread layer on the surface that measurably reduces light transmission.

Who we recommend it for

Solar farm operators, asset managers and owners of rooftop systems

From industrial solar farms to rooftop systems on commercial buildings, wherever soiling measurably reduces output.

+5–25% efficiency improvement

Depending on the degree of soiling — but cleaning can pay off even at a 1.5–2% yield increase, which we calculate precisely during the assessment.

Free of scratches and micro-cracks

The robot technology has been tested and approved by solar panel manufacturers — the process does not adversely affect the panels' manufacturer warranty.

Chemical-free, ionised water

Leaves no spots, does not damage the panel surface or the anti-reflective coating, and is environmentally friendly.

We only clean if it's worth it

Before every project we prepare a concrete ROI forecast — if the expected yield increase does not cover the cost, we tell you honestly.

Payback

What yield increase can you expect?

In Hungary, solar panels typically need cleaning once a year, but with heavy dust, pollen or bird droppings earlier cleaning may be justified. During the assessment we measure the current level of soiling and use it to give a concrete, numerical yield forecast.

Many plants see a 10–25% increase, but an improvement above 5% is achievable in almost every case — and even a 1.5–2% increase can pay back the cost of cleaning.

Why regular cleaning matters

Soiling is not just an aesthetic issue

5–20%performance loss can be caused by soiling deposited on the panel surface
↑ heatsoiling increases the thermal load on the inverter, which reduces its lifespan
Hot spotand PID risk: deposits increase the likelihood of hot-spot formation and performance degradation
↓ lifespaninadequate cleaning can reduce the lifespan of the panels
Our equipment

Three different technologies — the right solution for every solar plant

We do not rely on a single machine: depending on site conditions (terrain, row spacing, accessibility), we select or combine the best-fitting technology.

SkyTechBrush — towed brush arm

A quick-to-deploy system with joystick and fine hydraulic control, mounted on a tractor or small machine. Excellent for large solar farms on flat terrain.

Solar cleaning robot

A modular, self-propelled robot system that moves directly along the panel row for gentle and effective cleaning — its modular design makes it easy to expand or reduce.

Drone solar cleaning

Effective where a vehicle or robot cannot travel — hard-to-reach sites, uneven terrain or rooftop installations.

Data-driven decisions: we measure and document production data, track soiling trends and weather effects, and measure both before and after washing — so the timing of the wash can also be optimised, which saves cost and maximises yield.

Free of scratches and micro-cracks

Brushes and water system certified for the panel surface

The robot system moves directly along the panel row, working with brushes and squeegees designed specifically for solar panel surfaces. Mechanical damage to the panel surface is ruled out — the system was tested and approved by the manufacturer, so cleaning does not adversely affect the solar panels' warranty.

How we work

Five steps from assessment to verified yield increase

01

Free on-site assessment

We inspect the solar farm or rooftop system and assess the degree of soiling and the accessibility.

02

ROI forecast

We give a concrete, numerical payback forecast. We do not recommend cleaning if it does not pay off.

03

Robot deployment

Commissioning the manufacturer-approved robot fleet on site — the system works so as not to cause scratches or micro-cracks on the panel surface.

04

Ionised-water cleaning

A chemical-free, gentle but effective cleaning phase that leaves no spots on the panel surface.

05

Post-clean measurement and ROI report

Before-and-after yield measurement and report, so you can see exactly how much production has increased.

Warranty and approval

Manufacturer-approved technology, with full insurance

+5–25%typical yield increase after cleaning
0 chemicalsionised water, warranty-preserving process
1.5–2%yield increase from which cleaning can already pay off
Fullliability insurance on every project
Market-leading technology developed specifically for solar panel cleaning. The cleaning equipment and technologies we use hold the required manufacturer and PV-industry certifications, are accepted by the major solar panel manufacturers, and do not void the panel warranty. We use brushes, squeegees and water systems certified specifically for solar panel surfaces, and mechanical damage to the panel surface is ruled out — the system is gentle, certified and tested. We send the relevant manufacturer documentation on request.
Frequently asked questions

What our clients ask most often before the assessment

No. The robot technology cleans without causing scratches or micro-cracks, works with ionised, chemical-free water that leaves no spots, and does not adversely affect the panels' manufacturer warranty.

In Hungary, once a year is typically ideal, but with heavy dust, pollen or significant bird droppings earlier cleaning may be justified. Based on a free assessment, we clean only if the expected yield increase exceeds the cost.

It depends on the environment and the degree of soiling. Many plants see a 10–25% increase, but an improvement above 5% is achievable in almost every case, and even a 1.5–2% increase can make cleaning worthwhile.

No, we are completely chemical-free. The robots use ionised, demineralised water that dries clean, without spots or streaks, without harming the panels or the environment.
