THE SPEC EXPLAINER

What Does MW per Day Mean for a Solar Cleaning Robot?

MW/day is a productivity shorthand: the amount of installed PV capacity the vendor says can be cleaned in a day. It is not a physical cleaning-rate unit unless you also know panel density, row layout, workday length and assumptions behind the claim.

Why MW/day can mislead

One megawatt of high-efficiency modules may occupy less area than older lower-power modules. A machine can clean the same square meters per hour but appear to cover more MW/day on a denser modern array.

Normalize the comparison

When comparing systems, convert claims to square meters/hour if possible and then add row-transition and setup time. For manual tools, track square meters or panels per labor hour.

What to check before buying

  • Underlying area per MW
  • Hours in stated workday
  • Row transition assumptions
  • Square meters per hour
