Indonesia solar panel cleaning robot
In Indonesia, the “Land of a Thousand Islands” straddling the equator, abundant solar resources and supportive policies have made photovoltaic (PV) power generation a core direction for energy transition. However, the tropical climate brings high humidity, dust, and industrial pollution, leading to faster-than-expected dust accumulation on PV panels—each 1% increase in dust coverage reduces power generation efficiency by 0.5%-0.8%. Traditional manual cleaning is costly and inefficient, and the hardening of mud during the rainy season further complicates maintenance.
Todos offers two core products tailored to the Indonesian market:
1. Fully Automatic PV Panel Cleaning Robot: The “Unmanned Maintenance Guardian” for Large Power Plants
Applicable Scenarios: Power plants in Java’s industrial zones and Kalimantan’s desert areas.
- Daily Automatic Inspection and Cleaning: Based on preset path algorithms, the robot performs cleaning tasks automatically at dawn, avoiding losses from high-temperature shutdowns during the day, ensuring year-round power generation stability.
- 98%+ Cleaning Rate with Dry Sweeping Technology: Utilizes nano-level silicone rollers to remove micron-level dust without water, especially suitable for areas with frequent sandstorms during Indonesia’s dry season.
- Zero Water Consumption Customization: Power plants in water-scarce regions like Sulawesi can disable the water washing module, while high-pollution plants near Jakarta can customize water washing to address sticky industrial dust.
- Case Data: After deploying 50 units at a 50MW plant in Surabaya, annual power generation increased by 12%, labor costs decreased by 70%, and the investment payback period was reduced to 14 months.
2. Remote-Controlled Cleaning Robot: The “Flexible Productivity Tool” for Small and Medium-Sized Maintenance Companies
Applicable Scenarios: Distributed rooftop PV systems and off-grid mountain power plants.
- Semi-Automatic Water and Dry Modes: Users can remotely plan cleaning paths via a mobile app, with one-click switching between high-pressure mist washing (for rainy season mud) and dry sweeping (for dry season dust), covering 2-3MW panels per day per unit.
- Modular and Portable Design: Lightweight and foldable, suitable for transport via pickup trucks. Customers in Bali reported that “one person can clean a 10KW system in 2 hours.”
- Real-Time Dirt Monitoring: Equipped with infrared sensors to generate cleaning reports, helping a maintenance company in Jakarta achieve a 15% premium on service fees through data visualization.
- Industry Feedback: After five cleaning companies jointly purchased 200 units, their service coverage expanded from 30km to 100km, and labor costs decreased by 40%.
Why Do Indonesian Customers Choose Todos?
- Localized Adaptation: Anti-rust coatings optimized for Southeast Asia’s humid climate, with waterproof ratings capable of withstanding monsoon rains.
- Smart Maintenance Network: A cloud platform capable of monitoring tens of thousands of devices simultaneously, issuing fault warnings and pushing spare parts solutions to minimize downtime losses.
