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.
- 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.
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).
