, /PRNewswire/ — From Arctech, a global leader in providing solar tracking and racking solutions, participated in the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo in Greater Noida, . The extraordinary The team introduced four main products: the 1P SkyLine II solar tracking system, the 1P SkyWings dual-row solar tracking system, the newly developed intelligent PV cleaning robot, and an innovative polymer PV module frame. It is worth noting that the intelligent photoelectric cleaning robot was the star of the show.
The robot, independently developed by Arctech, has several great features that set it apart from its counterparts.
First, the cleaning robot is seamlessly integrated with its solar tracking system. This integration optimizes the operating path for cleaning the solar module. Meanwhile, the cleaning robot decommissioning platform is designed to integrate with the solar tracker spindle, which can reduce the number of poles required, thus reducing the cost of the platform by 40%. The shutdown platform is designed to align with the operating path of the solar tracker, preventing operational disruptions and damage caused by misalignment between the platform and modules during cleaning.
Furthermore, the robot’s lightweight body, made of high-strength composite materials, reduces its weight by more than 30% compared to conventional machines, reducing the risk of damage to the solar modules and ensuring consistent performance after 20,000 cycles. It features a patented differentiated drive design system for smooth shifting with minimal noise, quiet operation, and maintenance-free use. The integration of AI-powered intelligent gait correction system, anti-fall safety design, and two-wheel windproof mechanical feature also enables it to withstand winds of up to 50 meters per second.
Moreover, the robot is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system to prevent twisting and hill climbing up to 20 degrees, and can cross obstacles up to 50 mm with a unit angle deviation of ±20 degrees. Its error-safe design includes light-sensitive sensors to prevent accidental activation and ensure effective cleaning. In addition, its compatible design, featuring an anti-drop telescopic bridge, adapts to different panel array distances, ensuring seamless integration with an array of solar panels and facilitating seamless installation of solar trackers. To stay ahead of the industry trend and enhance the performance of solar projects, Arctech has developed an intelligent photovoltaic cleaning robot, and the first batch of mass-produced modules is scheduled to be sent to By early November.
Arctech’s SkyLine II and SkyWings solar tracking systems, which feature a multi-point payment mechanism, were highlighted at REI 2024 for their ability to boost power generation and reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of solar power plants. The 1P SkyLine II is designed for terrain tracking and installation diverse landscapes, while SkyWings, the world’s first dual-row tracker equipped with this mechanism, ensures stability and optimal inclination of cleaning robots, convenient arid climates. In addition, the polymer material frames of the PV modules, which are praised for their mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and insulation, help prevent potential induced degradation (PID), ensuring stable operation of the PV modules over the long term.
With a market presence spanning over nine years and a portfolio of over 10 GW in the Indian market, Arctech is well positioned to achieve greater success with its advanced solar tracking, racking systems and intelligent PV cleaning robot.
