SunBrush Mobil is developing a robotic solution for commercial rooftop solar systems in Australia, using mechanically simple technology to maximize the output of utility-scale solar panels through effective debris removal.
SunBrush Mobil CEO Franz Ehleuter said pv magazine at the recent All Energy 2024 trade show in Melbourne, Australia, that the robot system will be radio-controlled.
“There will be a lifter to place it on a roof and it will be radio controlled, and the controller will have a view of the cleaning process through built-in cameras,” Ehleuter said. “It will be a wet and dry cleaning solution, but normally it will be wet cleaning.”
SunBrush showed off its TrackFlex large-scale solar cleaning solution at All-Energy, which can clean 10,000 square meters per hour.
