Aegeus Technologies has developed an autonomous, water-free cleaning bot for rooftop solar installations. The bot weighs 5 kg with a battery. It can be operated remotely through a web-based app.
A Bengaluru-based company, Aegeus Technologies has introduced the Shreem cleaning bot exclusively designed for rooftop solar cleaning. This robotic device’s technology is completely water-free. In this device, the company uses air wash technology to clean the panels, ensuring zero use of any harmful chemicals.
The bot consists of two sets of wiping brushes made of microfiber cloth. Controlled airflow blows the dust off the panels efficiently. The radial brush ensures any leftover dust on the edges is also blown off. This device is powered by a 10Ah lithium-ion battery pack with a life of around 2000 cycles which can clean around 200 solar panels in one hour.
Shreem comes with a solar-powered docking station, which keeps monitoring weather parameters like the rain, wind speed, etc. The bot will return to or continue to be in the docking station if the weather is unsafe for its operation.
This device can be operated through a web-based app from any remote location which overcomes the problem of accessibility for dangerous or difficult-to-reach rooftop installations. The bot, being Bluetooth-enabled, can also be operated manually using a mobile app or through an RF remote-operated controller. It can be configured to start at a desired time of the day automatically.
The bot uses an intelligent algorithm and sensors to detect edges and moves on a straight path that covers the entire area. It is automatically aligned to account for waves or uneven surfaces. It is also smart to distinguish between the end of the table and gaps between tables. The bot uses a computerized neural network to learn about the number of rows, columns, modules, tilt angle, path planning and direction for effective operation.
