Drones & solar panel cleaning maintenance – Quick, safe, and efficient with Vitapanel
Smarter Cleaning of Solar Panels Cleaning solar panels can require considerable organization, especially for floating solar farms, industrial or agricultural roofs, or hard-to-reach installations. Manual cleaning is time-consuming, involves people working at heights, and often consumes a lot of water. An increasingly popular alternative is applying a cleaning agent via drone. Combined with Vitapanel Clean ECO, this offers a quick, safe, and effective way to increase the yield of your existing panels.
When Can Drone Cleaning Be Beneficial?
Cleaning solar panels always involves balancing the additional energy that cleaner panels can produce, the local price of electricity, and the cost of cleaning. Achieving 100% cleanliness on heavily soiled panels typically requires mechanical brushing. However, for lightly soiled panels or regular maintenance, drones can already provide the desired results. Due to their cost-efficiency, drones can make cleaning even heavily soiled panels financially viable, as the additional yield from cleaner panels (even if not 100% clean) significantly outweighs the cleaning costs.
Why Vitapanel and Drones are a Great Match
Vitapanel Clean ECO has specific properties that complement drone applications:
- Biodegradable, ECOCERT-certified – no environmental impact from natural runoff, causing no issues even if some overspray lands around the panels.
- Non-corrosive – safe for solar panels, equipment, and roofing materials.
If rain is expected within a few days, Vitapanel can be evenly and thoroughly applied to the panels using drones. Rain will subsequently wash away the loosened dirt.
Conclusion
In certain cases, drones can make solar panel cleaning faster, safer, and more efficient. Combined with Vitapanel Clean ECO, you maximize the benefits of this method.
