SolMann mechanically cleans the surface of solar panels, quickly and efficiently, and substantially reduces the need for manual labor.

 

SolMann is mounted on a small vehicle that navigates parallel to the rows of solar panels cleaning the surface as it proceeds from row to row. It is remotely controlled by a single operator utilizing a simple but sophisticated control system that controls the contact between the cleaning system and the absorption surfaces. SolMann thoroughly cleans difficult-to-access crevices around the extended edges of panels and other impediments.

 

A SolMann prototype, based on a pending patent, has been comprehensively tested and brought to a stage in development where it meets all project goals.

 

SolMann has many distinct advantages:

 

-   Effectively cleans the surfaces of the panels without requiring water – comprehensive removal of dirt

-   Robotized stabilization system that maintains control on the cleaning arm

-   Relatively low cost operation, cheaper to operate and maintain than any system on the market today

-   Easy to operate – can be used around the clock

-   Use of existing infrastructures – can be installed on equipment already available in the field

-   Very high cleaning power – 8,000-10,000 sq. meters per hour (depending on the design of field)
