SolarCleano / E1

SolarCleano E1, cleaning large plants from the driver's seat

A 3-metre brush mounted on the bed of a 4x4 pick-up, controlled by an operator next to the driver. Up to 3,000 m² per hour, about 5 MW a day. Designed for large ground-mounted plants with heavy soiling, and in particular for trackers, both conventional and torque-tube.

How it works

The vehicle drives the row, the brush follows the modules

The E1 is fixed to the back of a 4x4 vehicle and travels with it from plant to plant. While the driver moves along the row, the operator adjusts brush height and tilt from the keypad; the brush adapts to the structure and works with adjustable pressure on the modules.

Compared with robots that sit on the panels, the logistics change: no dismantling at the end of a row, no lifting onto structures.

The vehicle can be your own or supplied by us, as you prefer: usually an Isuzu D-Max Single Cab D-Strong or a Toyota Hilux. Either way, installing the brush on the pick-up is included in the supply.

Who it is for

When to choose the E1, and when not to

  • Large ground-mounted plants with heavy soiling: farm dust, sand, nearby building sites.
  • Single-axis tracker parks, where robots that sit on the modules need more handling time.
  • Service and O&M companies that want to cover large areas with two people, with their own pick-up or one supplied by us.

The E1 is not the machine for roofs, carports or plants with rows too narrow for the vehicle. Structure height must also be checked: above 3.3 m at the upper module edge we look at the L1 or the B1. We check this on your layout before making a proposal.
