INFORMATION QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Why does the automatic solar panel cleaning system cost more than other ways to clean solar panels?
- Automatic solar panel cleaning systems provide a number of benefits that make them a valuable investment for solar panel owners. The reason they cost more than other cleaning methods is because they are designed to clean the panels efficiently and effectively, ensuring that they maintain their efficiency and performance over time.
- An automatic cleaning system is equipped with various components, including water spraying systems, brushes, and motors, that work together to clean the panels. Additionally, some systems may also include filters, pumps, and other components that help to maintain the cleanliness of the panels over time.
- The cost of an automatic solar panel cleaning system depends on its size, design, and features. For example, a system that is designed for a large-scale commercial solar panel array may cost more than one that is designed for a small residential installation.
- However, despite the initial cost, an automatic solar panel cleaning system can provide a number of benefits that make it a more cost-effective solution over the long term. For example, it can help to maintain the efficiency of the panels by removing dirt, debris, and other contaminants that can reduce their ability to absorb light. Additionally, it can also help to extend the lifespan of the panels by preventing damage that can be caused by harsh weather conditions and other environmental factors.
2. Why is the automatic solar panel cleaning system better than conventional cleaning solutions?
- Consistency: Automatic cleaning systems are designed to clean the panels at regular intervals, ensuring that the panels remain consistently clean and free from debris. This helps to maintain their efficiency and performance over time.
- Efficiency: An automatic cleaning system can clean large solar panel arrays quickly and effectively, without the need for manual labor. This saves time and effort and allows for more efficient maintenance of the panels.
- Safety: Cleaning solar panels can be a dangerous task, especially for large arrays installed at heights. An automatic cleaning system eliminates the need for manual labor, making it a safer option for cleaning the panels.
- Cost-effectiveness: While automatic cleaning systems may have a higher upfront cost, they can be more cost-effective over the long term. For example, they can help to extend the lifespan of the panels, reducing the need for replacements, and maintaining their efficiency, reducing the need for repairs.
- Environmental impact: Some conventional cleaning methods, such as the use of cleaning sprays, can have negative impacts on the environment. Automatic cleaning systems, on the other hand, typically use a closed-loop water system, reducing the amount of water waste and minimizing the environmental impact of cleaning the panels.
3. What is difference between Automatic and Manual robot?
Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning Robot: An automatic cleaning robot is equipped with sensors and advanced algorithms that allow it to operate independently without human intervention. The robot uses its sensors to detect dirt and debris on the panels and then uses its cleaning mechanism to remove the dirt and debris. The cleaning process is done automatically without any manual intervention.
Manual Solar Panel Cleaning Robot: A manual cleaning robot is operated by a human using a remote control. The operator manually moves the robot over the panels, using the cleaning mechanism to remove dirt and debris. The cleaning process is done by manual operation and does not require any automated features.
Both types of cleaning robots have their own advantages and disadvantages. Automatic cleaning robots are more convenient and efficient, but may be more expensive than manual cleaning robots. On the other hand, manual cleaning robots are less expensive and can be more easily repaired, but require a human operator to be present to control them.
4. Is water required for the cleaning using the automatic solar panel cleaning system?
- No water is required in our solution. Our robots are water free. Which is also referred to dry cleaning.
5. What are the robot specifications?
- Please download this brochure to see the specifications. Click here to download.
6. What is the warranty period?
- Warranty period for Automatic solar panel cleaning robot is 2 years from the date of sale.
7. What is the cleaning speed of the robot?
- Our robot operates at the speed of 11 meters/minute.
8. How many robots do I require?
- For an automatic robot, it depends on how many rows of solar panels are in your plant. The number of robots required equals the number of rows of solar panels in your plant.
- In above example number of rows are in this plant are 5, hence 5 robots are required.
9. What kind of brush is used? Does it leave any scratches or spots on the PV cell?
- In our robots, we use a nylon-fiber brush that is specifically designed for cleaning solar panels. Hence, it does not leave any scratches or spots on the PV cell.
10. What is the life of the brush?
- Life of the brush is 5 years, after 5 years you have to replace it.
11. Any railing arrangement required for the robot?
- No railing arrangement is required, however parking station for the robot is required.
12. What are the battery specifications?
- A lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 10 Ah is used, and a 12-volt, 10-amp input is required.
13. How is the battery charged?
- Battery is charged by solar panel mounted on robot itself, hence no charging port or charging arrangement is required.
14. What is the life of the battery?
- Battery life is 2 years.
