Tamil Nadu-based Sleepwalkers has launched the Zero Dust-BOLT, an automatic robotic machine for waterless mud removing from photo voltaic panels. The machine operates with out rails and is appropriate for ground-mounted and rooftop/RCC installations, together with fastened, seasonal tilt, and single-axis trackers.
The corporate claims that the robotic machine achieves 99% cleansing effectivity, making it superb for PV installations in deserts. It’s accessible in automated and semi-automated fashions, providing dry, moist, or hybrid cleansing strategies.
In line with Anil Zinjurke, chief advertising officer of Sleepwalkers, the robotic is powered by an onboard lithium battery and might journey 2 km to three km on a single cost. It could clear greater than 2 MW a day, relying on website situations. Set up is simple, as no extra railing is required.
“The automated fashions that pay for themselves from the inbuilt photo voltaic panels. Within the pick-and-place mannequin, there’s a battery swapping facility,” mentioned Zinjurke. “Our moist cleansing robots scale back water consumption in half, in comparison with standard guide moist cleansing.”
The PV cleansing robotic is designed to deal with panel-to-panel irregularities as much as 25 mm and land slope undulations as much as 15 levels. It has a excessive torque motor, industrial-grade controller, SCADA and cloud connectivity, and climate monitoring.
Zero Dust-BOLT robots are UL-certified and at the moment deployed in practically 300 MW of PV capability, in numerous sizes from 2 meters to eight meters.
