Buyer’s guide: solar panel cleaning robots

How they work

Most run along each panel row with a rotating brush and no water, docking at the end of the row; some move between rows on a transfer vehicle, and others are tractor-mounted or flying.

What to check before buying

  • Panel and tracker types supported
  • Water use (dry or wet)
  • Cost per MW and whether offered as a service

Where they work
