Emil Otto GmbH, a renowned supplier of cleaning and soldering agents for the solar industry, has introduced a range of cleaning products specifically designed for drone applications. The aim of these innovative options is to significantly enhance the efficiency and lifespan of solar panels while streamlining maintenance requirements, thereby maximizing their overall value.
In recent years, there has been a substantial surge in demand for renewable energy, particularly solar power. The effectiveness of photovoltaic panels is largely contingent on routine cleaning to remove dirt, grime, and other impurities that can impede their performance. Traditional cleaning methods often prove to be tedious, costly, and challenging, especially when tackling inaccessible spaces.
“As drones continue to transform the landscape, their ability to efficiently remove dust from solar panels is revolutionizing the industry,” said Markus Geßner, Head of Marketing and Sales at Emil Otto GmbH. Designed to target specific contamination sites with precision, specially formulated cleaning agents are dispensed via drones that spray them directly onto affected areas.
“Cleansing agents used for solar panels must be environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and precisely formulated to deliver maximum cleaning power without compromising the integrity of these sensitive surfaces.”
The sequence comprises a diverse array of specialized cleaning agents designed specifically for use on solar modules. Brokers will exhibit alkaline, acidic, or neutral properties depending on the type of contamination present. Free from VOCs, these products exhibit efficiency in combating a range of contaminants, including limescale, lime compounds, lichen, moss, and algae. Geßner notes that solar farms, typically located near highways or other high-traffic areas, are often plagued by contaminants such as soot, exhaust fumes, dirt, and other pollutants.
“The optimal effectiveness of the photovoltaic module is ensured by cleaning it again,” Geßner added. Emil Otto’s cleaners leave no residue that could potentially harden under the effects of ultraviolet radiation. The company’s products are also lightweight with regards to their solar system’s supply chain and electronic components.
“By combining drones with our eco-friendly cleaning products, we’re able to offer a significant value proposition,” Geßner noted. Drones are capable of covering vast areas quickly and reaching locations that are inaccessible to traditional cleaning teams. When circumstances demand thorough cleaning, it is crucial that cleansing agents leave no residue behind, thereby obviating the need for subsequent manual or mechanical re-cleaning efforts. This innovative drone-assisted cleaning approach significantly reduces operational hours and downtime, yielding substantial cost savings.
“Our innovative module cleaning solutions represent a significant breakthrough for the solar industry,” Geßner noted. “We’re committed to delivering solutions that not only enhance the efficiency and lifespan of solar panels, but also minimize operating costs while safeguarding the environment.”
