The solarbrush is a uav designed to clean solar panels in arid areas and has unique advantages over alternative methods of cleaning and maintenance.
Drone cleaning solar panels.
Our sense and engage on board navigational system enables drones to work quickly and efficiently in hard to reach places.
Solar panels are generally self cleaning but in particularly dry areas or where panel tilt is minimal dust and other substances such as bird droppings can build up over time and impact on the amount electricity generated by a module.
Aerial power is the first company to develop a fully automated drone based method for cleaning solar panels.
Intended for use in rooftop installations that are difficult to reach the nakai drone can take off under operator control land itself gently on the rooftop installation and begin to clean.
The solar energy used to fuel the drone is renewable as well which means spending less money on drawing electricity from the grid to power the drones.
Grime and bird poop doesn t need to cover an entire panel to have an effect.
The frequency of cleaning is particularly dependent on the local climate with solar panels in dry arid areas requiring more frequent cleaning.
There are high hopes for this drone because of its potential over other options self cleaning panels are still problematic and the drones are clearly better suited to the job that the robots.

The productivity of solar plants is reduced by soiling of the panel and heliostat surfaces and cleaning is a routine maintenance requirement.
There are several solar drone products that have been developed in recent years or are currently in development.

Here are some examples of solar drones.
The drone will enable sunpower to survey a wide region and help design a solar power farm that can fit more solar panels on a piece of land more quickly and for lower costs than it previously could.
Types of solar drones.
A cleaning drone for unreachable panels the nakai cleaner drone combines a drone and cleaning robot in one small package.
Aerial power ltd quality advantage the only part of solarbrush that touches the solar panel surfaces is the specially designed cleaning tail.
Do you want to clean all those mirrors.
Called solarbrush our specially adapted unmanned aerial vehicle uav is an efficient low maintenance and environmentally friendly way of maintaining solar farm efficiency.
This is where cleaning solar panels may have to be done.
