A "renewal tool" for photovoltaic power plants has been launched! Intelligent cleaning effectively improves power generation efficiency.
Recently, 75 photovoltaic cleaning robots developed by Zhejiang Qingtian Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. were "walking" on the 41,000-square-meter photovoltaic roof of Zhejiang Jinyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. Wherever their "footprints" passed, the dusty photovoltaic panels immediately regained their original luster and shone brightly in the sunlight.
"What used to take many people three days to clean 40,000 square meters of solar panels can now be done automatically in 30 minutes with just a tap on a mobile phone!" Lu Guoguo, R&D Director of Qingtian Technology, explained: Qingtian's solar cleaning robot is equipped with a self-developed roller brush system, achieving a 99% dust removal rate through precise track movement and waterless dry sweeping technology. Even more noteworthy is that the equipment has its own solar power supply and energy storage system, truly achieving a self-sufficient green operation and maintenance closed loop!
In recent years, more and more enterprises and individuals have chosen to adopt photovoltaic power generation systems. However, photovoltaic panels are placed outdoors for long periods of time, and their surfaces are prone to accumulating dust and other dirt, which can affect their light transmittance. Regular cleaning is therefore essential. In response, Qingtian Technology, combining its own photovoltaic business, has developed a photovoltaic cleaning robot to further enhance the added value of its products. While improving cleaning efficiency and quality, the robot also effectively improves the power generation level of photovoltaic power plants.
After being cleaned by intelligent cleaning robots , the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels increases by an average of 15%, and in areas with poorer environments, it can increase by more than 30%. The equipment uses a waterless dry cleaning method, ensuring cleaning effectiveness while protecting the surface of the photovoltaic panels from damage to the greatest extent.
To date, Qingtian Technology's intelligent cleaning robots have undergone iterative upgrades from tracked and trackless models to a mobile model. This has not only saved significant manufacturing costs but also made the robots more flexible, enabling them to be well-suited for more complex photovoltaic power plants such as BIPV and herringbone structures. This further reduces subsequent operation and maintenance costs.
Currently, Qingtian Technology's self-developed, self-produced, and self-used 340+ photovoltaic cleaning robots have been applied to more than 30 photovoltaic power stations. The status of each robot is clearly displayed on the backend system. Lü Guoguo said that with the growth of photovoltaic installations, cleaning robots are becoming standard equipment in power stations, driving the photovoltaic industry towards high efficiency, intelligence, and sustainability.
In the future, Qingtian Technology will continue to innovate and conduct independent research and development to further reduce operation and maintenance costs, improve cleaning efficiency, continuously increase power plant revenue, and contribute to the development of green energy.
