Solar farms currently face high operational costs and disruptions due to reliance on labor-intensive maintenance methods and outdated preventive technologies. These challenges result in inefficiencies and increased risks, creating a clear need for automated, intelligent solutions that ensure consistent and effective maintenance.
SolAIClean Mk1 (formerly known as Transeo) is an innovative, autonomous robotic system designed to address these challenges. Its multi-component design provides:
- CleanScan: An advanced module that cleans solar panels using counter-scrubbing brushes and a microfiber sweeper, detects hot spots with thermal scanning, and marks defective panels for replacement.
- Moove: A self-driving shuttle that transfers CleanScan between solar arrays using machine vision and a launchpad mechanism for precise alignment and deployment.
- Home: A central hub where diagnostics, sensor calibration, and maintenance activities are conducted to ensure system reliability and readiness.
By delivering continuous, automated maintenance, SolAIClean enhances solar farm efficiency, reduces operational risks, and meets the growing global demand for solar panel maintenance solutions. With the solar panel cleaning market expected to surpass $1 billion by 2026, SolAIClean positions itself as a vital innovation in a rapidly expanding sector.
