How does it work?

Attentive to the usage constraints of solar power plant operators, AX SYSTEM has developed the easiest to use
solution and the most effective photovoltaic panel cleaning solution. Our solution is completely autonomous and does
not require any electrical connection or water network.
The robot is supplied with pressurized water by our diesel pump unit, which provides water for cleaning and
travel. No power supply is required. The robot does not contain any batteries or electronic equipment, which
guarantees exceptional reliability.

Each row of panels is cleaned in two successive turns. At the end of the cycle, the robot automatically positions
itself on the rolling support, which then allows it to be placed in front of the next row. Control of the robot
requires two operators. No robot handling is required.

Thanks to our exceptional technology, our robot is also the fastest and most water-efficient:
-
Cleaning speed: 3000 m2/h
-
Travel speed: 25 m/min - 1.5 km/h
- Water consumption: 0.10 L/m2 per pass

TECHNICAL DATA

The cleaning robot is powered by a water-hydraulic motor that turns a

cylindrical brush and a belt.

No electricity is required on the robot. This technology is robust,

intelligent and simple, without electronic devices or batteries, which

guarantees a very long lifespan and very low maintenance.

A TRIPLE COMBINED ACTION

Cleaning is carried out by three combined actions: brush

rotation, high pressure water and two squeegees. This guarantees
very high cleaning efficiency in a single cleaning cycle.

NO DAMAGE TO THE PANEL

Our technology guarantees no damage to the photovoltaic panel. In

fact, the material of the brush is very soft and has been chosen to

avoid any risk of scratching. Additionally, the weight of the robot is

distributed evenly by the brush itself. The pressure on the cells

does not exceed 7 MPa.

2000 L TRAILER WITH PUMP

HIGH PRESSURE DIESEL

When no electricity or water supply is easily

accessible, this trailer is the solution. It comes
with a 2000 liter polyethylene water tank and a
high pressure diesel pump.

This trailer can be towed between the plant

aisles by any car and will provide the cleaning
robots with enough water to clean 20,000 m2 in
a single pass (approximately 1.5 MW).

Other tank capacities are available upon request.

HIGH PRESSURE DIESEL PUMP

Our cleaning robots are powered by a high-pressure water pump that

provides the flow needed for cleaning and moving.

With our high pressure diesel pump, no electrical connection is

required. The pump is 100% autonomous and simply needs to
be connected to low pressure water.

Electric drive pumps are also available upon request.

ROLLING RACK

Our rolling stand is used to easily move cleaning robots from one
panel to another.

After cleaning a row of panels, the robot finishes its journey on the
support. Then the operator manually moves the media to the next
row and starts the robot for a new cycle.

The support also allows the robot to be stored between phases

of use.

Under the bearing support, a reel allows for proper

operation and rewinding of the hose during use
of the robot.

COMPAPTIBILITY

Our cleaning robot is compatible with most technologies and shapes of

solar panels. It can even be installed on a frameless photovoltaic
panel.

WHY CLEAN A PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL?

The cells of a photovoltaic panel are connected in series. If a single cell is hidden from the
sun by dirt, the efficiency of the entire panel decreases. Depending on the natural
environment around the solar plant, we estimate that without cleaning, efficiency drops by
2-15% per month.

With regular cleaning, solar power plants can

maintain consistent efficiency and save money.

HOW MUCH CLEANING TIME FOR MY

INSTALLATION?

It is interesting to have several robots to divide these cleaning

times.

Time is estimated in working hours or working days of approximately

10 hours.

Here are the cleaning times depending on the

size of your installation and number of robots
