What is hyCLEANER®?

hyCLEANER® is a professional ecosystem for solar maintenance: advanced PV cleaning robots, reverse osmosis pure-water systems, high-pressure tools, and purpose-built accessories designed to help operators maintain performance across installations of all sizes.

Designed for pros

  • Engineered for commercial and industrial environments
  • Focus on repeatable results and durable components
  • Modular systems that scale from rooftops to solar parks

Built around efficiency

  • Chemical-free cleaning with low water consumption
  • Solutions for PV modules, façades, and glass surfaces
  • Tools aimed at boosting energy yield and extending module lifespan

Why a PV cleaning robot (especially on large arrays)?

Dirt, dust, pollen, and environmental buildup reduce light transmission—meaning less energy harvested. On large sites, manual methods can be slow, labour-intensive, and inconsistent. A dedicated robot system helps teams standardize cleaning quality, reduce operator fatigue, and increase throughput—so you can maintain output with less downtime.

Throughput

Higher m²/h capacity helps you clean more in the same shift—ideal when weather windows are tight.

Consistency

Uniform brush contact and controlled water use deliver repeatable outcomes across long rows.

Safety

Remote operation and edge detection can reduce exposure to slips, falls, and hazardous access areas.

Meet the hyCLEANER® solarROBOT Pro

The solarROBOT Pro is a next-generation PV cleaning robot designed and manufactured in Gronau, Germany for fast maintenance of large-scale photovoltaic systems. With Autodrive, professional wireless control, and a modular build for easy transport, it’s purpose-built for rooftop and solar park workflows.

What makes it “Pro”
  • Autonomous movement across modules with Autodrive
  • Dual-brush system for thorough, gentle cleaning
  • Pure-water cleaning (no detergents) for sustainable O&M
  • Edge detection for dependable stop-at-edge behavior

Key features that matter in the field

Autodrive + wireless control

Use the radio remote to manage speed, motion, and brushes from a safe distance, while Autodrive supports autonomous tracking across panels—great for long, repetitive rows.

Chemical-free, low-water cleaning

Designed to clean with pure water only, using roughly ~0.5 L/m²—helping reduce operating costs while supporting sustainable site maintenance.

Edge detection safety

Fall-protection sensors stop the robot automatically at edges—helping protect both equipment and operators during rooftop or elevated cleaning.

Modular build + hose management

Seven lightweight components (each under 20 kg) make transport and setup easier, while integrated hose handling helps keep the working area tidy across longer runs.

Where the solarROBOT Pro fits best

Utility-scale solar parks

High m²/h throughput and repeatable passes make it a strong fit for large ground-mounted arrays where efficiency drives profitability.

Commercial rooftops

Modular transport and remote operation help teams move between roof zones while keeping cleaning safe and controlled.

O&M service providers

If you manage multiple sites, standardized robotic cleaning can improve consistency, speed up jobs, and reduce physical strain on operators.

Pro workflow tip: Pair the robot with a pure-water setup (e.g., reverse osmosis) to reduce spotting and support chemical-free cleaning routines across different water qualities.
MTN SHOP MTN TIP

If you’re quoting or planning solar cleaning jobs, calculate your target throughput in m² per shift first. On large sites, the solarROBOT Pro’s scalable cleaning width and Autodrive can make scheduling far more predictable. Build your kit around the robot: pure-water supply, spare battery sets for hot-swaps, and the accessories that match your array layout (incline/edge considerations).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can the solarROBOT Pro clean per hour?
It cleans up to 1,100 m²/h as standard, and can be expanded up to 2,400 m²/h with extended brushes and offset cleaning width—ideal for large PV surfaces.
Does it require chemicals or detergents?
No—it's designed for chemical-free cleaning using pure water, with low water consumption of roughly ~0.5 L/m².
Is it safe to use on rooftops or near panel edges?
The robot includes edge detection sensors that stop movement automatically at edges, and it can be controlled via wireless remote from a safer position.
What slopes can it handle?
It operates on inclines up to 25° as standard, and up to 47° with optional side guides—useful for steeper rooftop installations.
How do the batteries work for all-day cleaning?
The solarROBOT Pro runs on two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (about 1.5–2 hours per set). Battery sets are hot-swappable, so you can keep cleaning with spares ready.
Who is the solarROBOT Pro best for?
It’s ideal for professional PV maintenance companies, commercial operators, and utility-scale sites that need fast, repeatable, and sustainable cleaning across large module surfaces.

Always follow manufacturer instructions and site safety procedures. Use appropriate training and risk assessment for rooftop/industrial environments. Water quality, soiling type, and site layout can affect results.
