THE SPEC EXPLAINER

How Much Solar Capacity Can One Cleaning Robot Cover Per Day?

Robot vendors may quote MW/day, m²/hour or panels/hour, but those figures depend heavily on row geometry, travel between rows, setup and site soiling. For manual tools, crew productivity is better estimated from reachable area per setup and time per row.

Why headline throughput is slippery

Two 10 MW sites can have very different row lengths, tracker spacing and access. A tool that cleans quickly on one long uninterrupted row may lose much of that advantage when crews constantly reposition.

Build a site-specific estimate

Time a representative row, include moves and rinsing, then multiply by the number of similar rows. For an extension-pole workflow, reach and tool width can matter as much as raw scrubbing speed.

What to check before buying

  • Row length and width
  • Repositioning time
  • Tool reach
  • Required rinsing/drying steps
