Innovative technology that keeps your solar panels running while cleaning the modules
Clean the Modules of Your Photovoltaic Plant With No Losses in Power Generation.
Your downtime is causing thousands of dollars in losses. Don't waste any more time or money. With PV WASHER®, you get smart, sustainable cleaning without interruptions.
What is PV WASHER®?
An innovative piece of equipment, with patented technology and 100% Brazilian, developed for the efficient and safe cleaning of photovoltaic modules.
Compact, economical and easy to operate, it allows cleaning of solar panels without the need to turn off the system, ensuring maximum energy generation even during the process.
This solution reduces operating costs, minimizes water consumption, reduces labor requirements, and preserves module warranties, offering a quick return on investment and high profitability.
How does it work?
PV WASHER® uses a pressure-controlled air spray method, combined with the addition of just 0.8 to 1.2 liters of water per module, promoting cleaning without direct contact with the panels, avoiding the risk of physical damage.
The equipment is attached to a tractor's PTO, allowing for easy operation and transportation. Its productivity can reach 14,000 to 28,000 modules per day, removing 97% to 99% of dust and fine particles, as recommended by the manufacturers. This process ensures continuous operation, preserves energy generation efficiency, and also contributes to sustainable practices in the photovoltaic sector.

Questions and answers about the PV Washer®
The PV Washer®® Reduces water consumption, labor, and cleaning time. Avoids mechanical contact with the modules, protecting them from microcracks, and performs cleaning without needing to shut down the power generation system.
No. It cleans the modules through controlled spraying, without direct physical contact, protecting them against the risk of micro-cracks or structural damage common when cleaning with brushes or squeegees.
No. One of its greatest advantages is that it allows cleaning without interrupting energy production, ensuring continuous plant efficiency throughout the entire process.
The operation requires only one operator (tractor driver) and one assistant. A plant of up to 5 MW can be completely cleaned in just one or two days, depending on the terrain conditions and size of the facility.
It uses an optimized sprinkler system, significantly reducing water consumption (on average 1 liter per module), without the use of chemicals, protecting the environment and promoting sustainability.
The PV Washer®® It is highly effective in periodically removing fine dust, dew, and common environmental debris. For stubborn dirt like bird or insect droppings, a dedicated mop can be used as needed.
Yes, by cleaning only with an air jet, providing good performance for modules with low dirt or preventive cleaning.
Yes, the PV WASHER® It's compatible with fixed structures, single- or dual-axis trackers, and bifacial modules. Its multidirectional cannon allows for front or rear cleaning, adapting to any configuration.
The PV Washer®® It has an estimated average durability of 10 years, with simple and economical maintenance, including periodic oil changes, belt inspection, nozzle cleaning and lubrication as indicated in the manual.
