Automated Module
Cleaning System
Thanks to innovation and the technological advances, we now have ways of replacing fossil fuels with more environmentally friendly and renewable energy sources. Sunlight is one of those energy sources. Using solar panels (PV), we can harness the energy of the Sun and transform it into electricity.
Due to the increasing demand for energy and increasing cost effectiveness solar electricity, more and more of the earth’s surface is being covered with solar panels.
Both households and energy companies are generating electricity in this way. Regardless of the purpose of the panels, their efficiency means income. In order for the panels to properly absorb the sunlight, they must be as clean as possible. Accumulation creates shading and therefore will prevent sunlight reaching the cells. This results in poor system performance, loss of efficiency and a loss of financial return for the owner and investor of solar energy. Once there is dirt of any kind sand, dust and even bird droppings on the surface of the panels, they become less efficient, and the production of electricity is compromised. Some reports mention losses of up to 30% in electricity generation as a result of dirt.
A unique system for cleaning and washing solar panels, using the Modular micro sprinkler – ensures optimal efficiency and energy production.
This is where we come in:
Storm Solar Cleaning has come up with the perfect solution Storm Cleaning, Automated Module Cleaning System, the solar panel cleaning unit! Our system offers state-of-the-art automation, Customised for specific soiling environment. System once installed requires minimal maintenance and highly useful where the available water is with high impurities It is an optimal and economical solution for the cooling, cleaning, and washing of solar panels. We make sure you will not have to climb your roof again or worry about cleaning your endless number of panels. Instead, you can be rest assured that your solar energy facility is producing electricity full throttle!
BENEFITS
- Enables the system to keep producing more efficiently.
- No need to hire any cleaning services.
- Faster ROI
- Manual cleaning of the panels becomes obsolete.
- No time invested in maintaining and cleaning the system.
- Eliminates the need for elevated handling and cleaning risks.
- To all sizes of PV systems and all types of installation formats.

Storm Solar Cleaning PV Module cleaning systems is highly scalable & versatile
PV Module cleaning systems is highly scalable and adaptable to any number & type of panels placed under mixed layouts, be it small Bungalow, factory rooftop or large utility scale project.
- To add cleaning agent for soft cleaning
- Water treatment plant to manifest clean water during cleaning
- Angular sprinklers to offer water throw of 2/4/8 meter covering 90 / 180 / 360 degree ensuring optimal usage of sprinklers and water.
- User friendly micro controller helps programming cleaning schedule for a day.
Using a proper water source is crucial. Water containing high concentrations of bicarbonate, calcium, magnesium, and salts might create sediments in the long run. Adequate water treatment recommended to reduce hardness of water used.
The Storm Solar Automated Module Cleaning System unit maintains steady, well-aligned micro sprinklers on the panels for optimal cleaning.
- Uniform cleaning of the panel.
- The Storm Solar Automated Module Cleaning System unit is free of vibration while cleaning the solar panels, unlike other solutions in the market
- All components are modular and easy to assemble without a need for special tools.
- Easy, user-friendly assembling and dismantling of the unit on the panel.
- Two kinds of water distribution for best coverage of the area: The main Storm Solar Automated Module Cleaning System unit consists of a 180° static diffuser, while the second Storm Solar Automated Module Cleaning System unit consists of a 90° static diffuser for use on the edges and boundaries.
- Non-rotating parts for long life span even under tough conditions, such as high temperatures,
wind, and dust.
It is better to operate the Storm Solar Automated Module Cleaning System units daily, preferably early in the morning. At dawn, the surface of the panels is wet and covered with dew. Thus, enabling the Storm Solar Automated Module Cleaning System units to clean the panels with less amount of water. The optimal duration of operation of the Storm Solar Automated Module Cleaning System units varies from 15 to 25 seconds, depending on the severity of the surrounding conditions and the amount of dirt
