Airtouch Solar developed a solution for utility-scale photovoltaic panel cleaning. Airtouch Solar's solution is an autonomous water-less cleaning robot that removes heavy soiling particles. Airtouch utilizes microfiber wipes and wind-blowing technology with the aim of improving cleaning results.
Airtouch's dedicated control system enables the robot to move smoothly along the panel, sensing changes in movement and outdoor condition as well as any loose screws. Together with the company's deep-learning software, the company can predict problems in advance and reduce failure rate. A sub-giga long-range communication system is embedded in each robot, allowing the robots to communicate freely with the center up to one kilometer away. This helps eliminate the need for high communication towers and helps prevent miscommunication in harsh weather conditions.

Airtouch Solar Climate Tech relevance
Solar energy, as a clean and renewable source, plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, sustainable utilization of solar power relies on maintaining the solar panels. $4B+ annually worth of damage occurs to solar panels in dry, dusty areas. Traditional cleaning methods consume a substantial amount of water.
To protect solar panels and minimize water waste, Airtouch Solar’s autonomous robotic cleaner utilizes microfiber wipes and wind-blowing technology. Powered by the solar panel it cleans, the robotic system is entirely self-sustaining.
The automated cleaning system can increase solar energy output by up to 30%, helping the world to move away from non-renewable energy sources. Furthermore, a 2% improvement in a 2-gigawatt solar panel installation saves approx. 360 million cubic meters of water, and conserves 64 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
