1P PV Automatic Cleaning Robot
Waterless robotic cleaning that keeps utility-scale PV arrays near-spotless
The 1P PV Automatic Cleaning Robot is a panel-mounted solar cleaning robot from Solar-LIT (Xiamen Lanxu Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.), a Chinese new-energy O&M equipment maker based in Xiamen's Torch High-tech Zone. It is a single-row ("1P") automated cleaning unit built to remove dust, dirt, and debris from photovoltaic modules without water, targeting utility-scale, commercial, and industrial solar plants.
Waterless dry cleaning
Cleanliness up to 99.5%
IP65 protection grade
Active deviation correction, no jamming
Soft elastic brushes, no surface damage
What it does
The robot performs fully automatic, waterless dry cleaning of PV modules, with the manufacturer rating cleanliness up to 99.5%. Soft, elastic brushes sweep the glass surface without damaging it, while an active deviation-correction design keeps the unit tracking straight and prevents jamming. Obstacle-surmounting capability lets it cross the front and back edges of modules and move up and down across a row, and the IP65-rated, modular build is designed to operate in rain and dust.
Where it's used
It is intended for photovoltaic power plant operation and maintenance, including utility-scale ground-mounted arrays as well as commercial and industrial rooftop installations. The robot is compatible with all kinds of framed tracking and fixed bracket systems, making it suitable across single-axis tracker farms and fixed-tilt fields. Solar-LIT positions automated, high-frequency cleaning as a way to keep modules largely dust-free, cut manual labor and safety risk, and recover lost generation in dusty environments.
Why operators choose it
Waterless cleaning removes the need for trucked-in or treated water at remote sites
Up to 99.5% cleanliness helps recover soiling-related generation losses
Soft elastic brushes clean without scratching or damaging module glass
IP65-rated modular build withstands rain and dust for outdoor operation
Compatible with tracking and fixed framed brackets, fitting most existing arrays
