Existing Solutions: A Flawed Approach
In today's solar industry, the prevailing method for maintaining PV farm cleanliness is through manual labor, which, unfortunately, yields exceptionally poor results.
Attempts to automate this process have fallen short, burdened by numerous drawbacks, including lack of autonomy, high costs, and overly complex solutions that demand regular maintenance, like, for example, battery replacement.
It's time for a game-changing alternative.

KEY FACTS
- Neglecting solar panel maintenance results in yearly losses of $10,000 to $40,000 per hectare.
- Soiling can lead to a 3% to 25% electricity loss, says US NREL research.
- Global PV pollution causes over $30 billion in annual losses, growing with the PV market.
- Solar PV's will become the world's largest power source by 2027 (IEA).
- In 2022, solar PV generation reached 1,300 TWh, the highest growth in renewables.
- UAE's goal: 14.2 GW renewables by 2030, aiming to be carbon-neutral by 2050.

Why SunShiner
The Long-Term Efficiency ChampionWhen it comes to long-term efficiency, SunShiner outperforms the competition. With no batteries or PVs onboard, it eliminates the need for costly battery replacements and frequent onsite visits, making it a significantly more profitable choice in the long term.
Simplicity for ReliabilityWhile high-end robots may appear impressive, they often break down and require frequent onsite maintenance. Sunshiner, on the other hand, keeps it simple offering a 20-year working lifespan. There's nothing to break or steal, and it operates flawlessly in extreme weather conditions, spanning from -40°C to +60°C.
Overcoming Challenges with EaseSunShiner's capabilities extend beyond just cleaning. It effortlessly crosses gaps of up to 20mm and handles vertical displacements of up to 40mm keeping superior quality of cleaning.
Unleash the PowerFeaturing an external, powerful motor, SunShiner tackles even the toughest scenarios with ease. Its strength allows it to clean thick layers of sand, stubborn dirt, and snow, all while remaining resilient against environmental conditions such as vibrations and temperature fluctuations.
No human assistance
Cleans both sand and snow
Works with tilted panels
