SolarCleano / L1
SolarCleano L1, extended brushes for ground parks
Up to 2,000 m² per hour, with brushes that cover two module widths in a single pass. The model for those working mainly on large ground-mounted plants with tilts above 25° and long, regular rows: the 10 to 30 MW park to be cleaned quickly before summer, after heavy soiling events or in scheduled maintenance windows.
The economics
Cost per MW per cleaning cycle
On a ground park what matters is cost per MW per cycle. The L1 is built to lower exactly that:
- Cleaning capacityup to 2,000 m²/h
- Brushesextended, covering two modules plus the edges of adjacent ones in one pass; helical shape that avoids tracks and streaks
- Rotationboth directions, forward and back; bristles overlap at the central joint for an even result
- Brush diameterover 150 mm, also suited to Solrif modules and tracker layouts
- Tiltabove 25° in standard operation
On a quarterly cycle of a mid-sized park, one operator with the L1 completes cleaning in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods. Exact figures depend on tilt, row geometry and the site's soiling: they are calculated on the real case.
Validation
Fraunhofer CSP, 200 cycles
The L1 is certified by Fraunhofer CSP (Report V262/2024) on TrinaSolar TSM-650 modules: after 200 cleaning cycles perpendicular to the module length, electroluminescence showed no significant change in performance or electromechanical integrity.
Who it is for
When to choose the L1, and when not to
- O&M companies whose portfolios are mostly ground parks above 5 MW each.
- Plant owners bringing cleaning into preventive maintenance to cut cost per kWp.
- Specialised service companies that want to be more competitive in tenders.
- F1 customers with recurring work on steep parks, where the F1 loses efficiency.
The L1 is a specialist machine. On industrial roofs and ground plants tilted 10 to 15° the F1 is more versatile: start with the F1 and add the L1 when the volume on steep parks justifies it. On a representative plant of yours we measure the time difference per row and work out the break-even between the two models together.
