Vietnam has been vigorously developing renewable energy in recent years, with solar power capacity growing rapidly. However, environmental factors such as high temperatures, dust, and rainy season mud cause solar panels to accumulate surface dust easily, directly affecting power generation efficiency (reducing output by 10%-65%). Traditional manual cleaning is costly and high-risk, while the Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning Machine has become the ideal choice for the Vietnamese market due to its intelligence and efficiency.
1. Core Product Advantages
1.1 Efficient Cleaning, Increased Power Generation
- Cleaning effectiveness ≥98%: Uses high-speed motor-driven spiral nylon brushes (60-120 RPM) with single-pass cleaning rate over 99%, ensuring scratch-free panels.
- Adapts to harsh environments: Operates in extreme temperatures (-30°C to 70°C), IP65 protection rating, can traverse slopes ≤22°, suitable for Vietnam’s hot, rainy, and dusty regions.
1.2 Significant Operational Cost Reduction
- Saves labor costs: Manual cleaning for 1MW plant costs $1,363-$7,272 per session, while robot requires one-time $10,000-$20,000 investment with 15-year total cost just 1/4 of manual cleaning.
- Extends equipment lifespan: Waterless dry brushing avoids water stains and corrosion, reducing micro-crack risks and maintenance costs.
1.3 Smart Management, Safe & Reliable
- Remote control: 4G remote monitoring, APP scheduling, automatic report generation with real-time equipment status feedback.
- Safe operation: Eliminates risks of manual high-altitude work, especially suitable for Vietnam’s large-scale plants (e.g., Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan projects).
2. Vietnam Application Scenarios
| Scenario | Pain Points | Robot Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Large-scale PV Plants | Low manual efficiency, high cost | Fully automated cleaning with daily frequency, increases generation by 10%-65% |
| Industrial Zone Plants | Severe dust pollution | Waterless dry brushing technology with high-efficiency spiral brushes |
| Rooftop Distributed PV | Manual work causes panel damage | Lightweight design (15kg) prevents roof structure damage |
3. Technical Highlights
- Smart O&M: Resume-after-interruption cleaning, auto-return when low battery, remote fault diagnosis (cloud support) minimizing downtime.
- Eco-friendly: Waterless cleaning saves resources, 55W low-power design adapted to Vietnam’s sunlight conditions.
- Localized service: Lifetime software upgrades, local technical team support with rapid response.
4. Cost Comparison (1MW Plant Example)
| Cleaning Method | Per Session Cost | 15-Year Total Cost (4 sessions/year) |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | $1,363-$7,272 | $81,810-$654,480 |
| Robot | One-time $10K-$20K investment | Only requires initial investment |
5. Future Outlook
Vietnam plans to increase renewable energy share to 30% by 2030, where panel cleaning is crucial for maintaining generation efficiency. Automatic cleaning robots, with their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety, will become key enablers for Vietnam’s energy transition.
