Ecoppia makes robotic systems to clean dust off of solar panels without using water: https://www.ecoppia.com/technology https://www.ecoppia.com/technology
Some of their systems are already deployed in India. One example:
Site: Bikaner Solar Park
Location: Bikaner, Rajasthan, India
Capacity: 438 MW
Bikaner solar Park it is located in the north part of Rajasthan surrounded by the Thar Desert. While providing optimal irradiation, this geographic location poses great challenges in terms of soiling losses, which fluctuate between 17-25%. As such, it requires between 12-36 conventional wet manual cleaning cycles.
With the installation of Ecoppia’s E4 fully automated and water free cleaning solution, there was no longer a need to perform manual wet cleaning, saving billions of liters of water every year. Moreover, Ecoppia’s daily cleaning, significantly reduced soiling loses, maximizing the site’s productivity.
