Italy’s photovoltaic sector is experiencing continuous growth, with numerous large-scale solar farms located in arid, dusty, and heavily polluted urban areas. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain optimal power generation efficiency of solar modules. We offer two core solutions tailored for the Italian market: a fully automated waterless dry-cleaning machine and a remote-controlled cleaning robot that supports water washing, dry cleaning, or hybrid modes, delivering advantages in efficiency, safety, and low maintenance costs.
Why Choose Our Solar Panel Cleaning Systems
- Boost Power Generation Efficiency: Dust and pollutants can significantly reduce module efficiency; keeping panels clean maximizes electricity output.
- Reduce Operational Costs: Automated cleaning replaces extensive manual labor, leading to substantial long-term savings in manpower and maintenance expenses.

Applicability and Advantages: Remote control, full intelligent management, adaptable to various cleaning needs, with localized technical support and after-sales assurance.
Cost Comparison (Overview)
Manual Cleaning Costs (For a 1MW Scale Example): Single cleaning costs range from approximately 1,363.5–7,272 USD, varying with site conditions and labor costs.
Robot Cleaning Costs: For the same scale site, typically requires multiple units, with initial investment around 10,000–20,000 USD.
15-Year Comparison (Typical Photovoltaic System Lifespan):
- If cleaning frequency is 1 time/year: Approximately 20,452.5–109,080 USD
- If cleaning frequency is 4 times/year: Approximately 81,810–654,480 USD
Conclusion: In the long term, investing in multiple cleaning robots is significantly superior to manual cleaning in reducing labor costs, extending equipment lifespan, and minimizing maintenance expenses.
Operational Safety and Maintenance Advantages
- Safety: Avoids high-altitude work and electrical risks, significantly reducing personnel injury probability.
