Automated PV panel cleaning
A cleaning system that lives on your array and runs on the schedule you set. No ladder, no technician on site, no phone call to book.
Built for small and medium installations, on panels you are about to install and on panels that have been up there for years.
ARCHITECTURE B · RAIL-MOUNTED PASS
The system
Cleaning quality comparable to a specialised crew, on your terms, as often as the season demands. Like a robot vacuum, except it lives on your roof.
Schedule
Pick the rhythm that fits the site. After a storm or a dust deposit, run an extra pass. Change it whenever you want, from wherever you are.
Operation
Fully automatic and remote controlled. No one climbs on the roof, no one needs to be home, nothing to remember and book.
Water
The system cleans with minimal water, or with no water at all depending on the configuration. Clean energy stays clean.
Measured loss
Dust, sand and air pollution settle on the glass and quietly cut what the array produces. The blue line is a year with no cleaning. The orange one is the same year, cleaned weekly.

Comparison
The alternative is calling a specialised crew and hoping you remember to call them again.
The team
Driven by purpose. Backed by expertise. Committed to a cleaner future.
Energy systems
Thermal engineer specialised in energy production systems. Technical director and project manager of a major Italian plant engineering company. Ten years in cogeneration and in the design and construction of machines for energy production.
Robotics & control
Graduated in Computer Engineering and Control Systems Engineering at the University of Padua. PhD in Robotics Engineering at the Control and Robotics Laboratory (SPARCS) of the University of Padua.
Mechanical & systems
Graduated in Mechanical and Control Systems Engineering through a double degree programme. Currently working as an avionic system engineer, with previous experience in the pharmaceutical and nuclear industries.
Questions
Both. Whether you are installing a brand new solar system or already have panels on the roof, the system fits onto the array. It is modular, so it adapts to the layout of the site.
Very little, and in some configurations none at all. The environmental footprint stays low, which is the point: cleaning the source of clean energy should not cost you water.
You can, and many do. The difference is frequency. A crew comes when you book them, and between two visits the panels are dirty for weeks. An automated system cleans as often as the site needs, including the day after a storm, without anyone having to remember.
Small and medium installations, from a house roof to a small park. Manual cleaning is usually only worth it on large industrial sites, which is exactly the gap the system is designed for.
