Robots and semi-automated machines that are used to clean solar panels.
Solar Panel Cleaning; Solar panel cleaning robot; solar panel cleaning robotics
As the world adopts solar energy, the solar panel cleaning industry grows. Solar installations are regularly cleaned to ensure optimal solar asset performance, asset life, and reliable energy production. Solar assets are often challenging to clean due to their remote locations and many other factors. The use of robotics and automated solar panel cleaning systems are quickly entering the marketplace and the need to assess and manage risks for the solar panel cleaning industry is evident. Automation in the solar panel cleaning industry creates risks for asset owners, operators, and bystanders. Environmental factors should also be assessed in the automation of solar panel cleaning equipment. The development of testing and standards for solar panel cleaning robotics and automation improve the industry and those who benefit from it.
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
