PHOTOVOLTAIC CLEANING ROBOT: solarROBOT pro
FAST & ECONOMIC CLEANING FOR LARGE PV SURFACES
The photovoltaic cleaning robot solarROBOT pro is the ideal solution for the professional cleaning of large solar installations from approx. 2,000 m² – whether on roofs, open-field installations, or even floating. The robot was developed for maximum efficiency with high cleaning requirements and impresses with its reliability and functionality. Thanks to its modular design, it can be flexibly expanded with accessories, ensuring it always meets your individual requirements.
Advantages of Operation and Cleaning:
- Safe remote control: Control via radio remote control from a safe distance
- AutoDrive: The robot cleans autonomously across the panels
- Edge detection: Fall protection sensors stop automatically at the edge
- Environmentally friendly: Cleaning without chemical additives or detergents
THE FACTS
1,100–2,400 m²/h cleaning performance
Thanks to variable brush sizes and offset arrangement, cleaning can be performed economically, quickly, and gently with a 2.40 m cleaning width, without physical strain for the operator.
Innovative functions for easy operation
Unique among robots on the market are innovative functions such as our AutoDrive, which autonomously maintains its path – for easy operation and battery runtimes of up to 3 hours.
Active hose management and variable accessories
Our modular design allows the robot to be supplemented with various accessories. As the only robot on the market, the hose is also smartly managed by the machine up to 100 m, without dragging on the ground.
Maximum safety for people & machines
The robot features edge detection, ensuring maximum safety. When the edge of the solar surface is reached, the machine stops automatically. This allows it to be safely controlled remotely via radio remote control.
Maximum performance through innovative brush design
With +/- 400 rpm brush rotation and the longest bristles, the machine ensures the best cleaning results without any chemicals with minimal water consumption of approx. 0.5 l/m². Dry cleaning? Also possible!
Modularity facilitates transport & handling
The modular system with 7 lightweight components not only facilitates transport & handling, but also allows for individual machine configuration and retrofitting with accessories at any time.

OUR CUSTOMERS AT hyCLEANER®
Don’t listen to us, listen to our customers
I have been working with the facadeBRUSH v-line since 2015. After a demo, I kept it right away. It has been running reliably ever since. I particularly appreciate how easy it is to use and the low barrier to entry, as I can rent the required boom lifts. The same applies to the solar robots—the concept is sound and the technology is reliable. I can recommend hyCLEANER without reservation.

“With the hyCLEANER robot, we can carry out solar cleaning faster and more efficiently. The robot is well constructed and the customer service from hyCLEANER is excellent!”
Will Ballard
Solar Cleaning South West Ltd
During my research, I came across three companies and chose the best option: hyCLEANER. The team was incredibly helpful. With hyCLEANER, almost anything is possible – I haven’t experienced such flexibility with other providers. I am impressed by the people, the organization, and the product – truly excellent!
Bas Selman
Managing Director at Quality Flex
I was particularly impressed by the quality, functionality and ease of use of the robots. I mainly use the two hose reels and the autodrive function, which are ideal for large areas such as stables and commercial facilities – my main area of application. The customer service is also top-notch!

FAQ FOR THE PHOTOVOLTAIC CLEANING ROBOT solarROBOT pro
What is the Pro's Cleaning Performance in M²/Hour?
The cleaning performance per hour depends on the size of the selected brushes and the degree of soiling on the surface. With normal soiling and a cleaning speed of approx. 1 km/h, between 500 and 1,100 m² per hour can realistically be cleaned (considering setup times, turning maneuvers, etc.). If the brushes are operated in an offset arrangement, the maximum practical cleaning performance is 1,800 m² per hour.
How much Does the Pro Cost and when Does the Purchase of a Cleaning Robot Pay off?
In the standard configuration with two 1,100 mm brushes, the solarROBOT pro costs EUR 34,000. If you choose the 1,300 mm brushes instead, it costs EUR 35,000.
The purchase of the robot can be optimally compared with the losses due to soiling. Simply use our Loss Calculator for this.
Furthermore, it must always be considered what cleaning frequency is required, how large the area is, and whether you are an end-user or a service provider. In certain scenarios, the purchase is already worthwhile from approx. 750 kWp of installed capacity.
How Long Does the Battery Last when Using the Pro?
The solarROBOT pro uses standard e-bike batteries, which are already included in the standard scope of delivery. This allows you to work for two to three hours before switching to spare batteries. Charging time is under two hours. Charging is conveniently done in the supplied charging case.
What is Included in the Standard Scope of Delivery of the Pro?
The pro consists of two chassis, a control unit including radio remote control, a hose guide, and two brushes. Here, you can choose between 1,100 or 1,300 mm. Additionally, a charging box including a set of batteries (2 pieces) is included. Our standard leather treads, including a cleaning bucket and PAD cleaner, are also included in the scope.
What Maximum PV Surface Inclination Can the Pro Handle?
The solarROBOT pro has a maximum approved inclination of 25 degrees. The surface condition and the current ambient temperature on site must always be checked separately and determine the achievable angle of inclination.
