LEAPTING (Huzhou LEAPTING Technology Co., Ltd.) has secured a major contract to manufacture and deliver 2,700 units of its flagship G1 automatic cleaning robot for a 750 MW solar power project in India.
The company announced that all units have completed final debugging at its Huzhou production facility and are now being shipped in phases to the project site. The large-scale delivery will involve more than 20 transportation batches and nearly 20 standard shipping containers. LEAPTING said efficient logistics planning and meticulous coordination will ensure that all units are accurately delivered to the 750 MW Indian solar power plant.
Dust accumulation remains one of the main challenges affecting the power generation efficiency and operation management of photovoltaic power stations. Long-term accumulated sand deposits on the surface of photovoltaic modules not only cause wear on the crystal surface and thus reduce their working performance but also weaken the light transmittance, trigger hot spot effects, and further reduce the output power of the modules.
Compared to manual water-based cleaning, automated robot cleaning of PV modules ensures long-term cost savings (by cutting down the requirement for manual labor and water) and a stronger return on investment for utility-scale solar plants.
LEAPTING said its G1 automated cleaning robots will be deployed at project sites under harsh climatic conditions such as high temperatures and strong sandstorms, which places higher demands on the reliability of the equipment’s operation. In response to the special climatic environment of this region, the G1 robot adopts the highest global anti-corrosion design and possesses outstanding weather resistance and corrosion resistance. Its unique wind-proof structure design can effectively cope with extreme sandstorm weather, ensuring the stable operation of the equipment.
In addition, the robot supports deep integration with the SCADA system and is equipped with the latest LoRa 4G dual-mode communication technology, ensuring the stability and efficiency of remote signal transmission, significantly enhancing the collaborative operation capability and overall safety of the robot and the photovoltaic support system.
The robot’s cleaning efficiency can reach 99.5%, and the operational reliability exceeds 99.9%. After the cleaning operation is completed, it can significantly improve the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic modules, helping this region with abundant sunlight resources achieve efficient and stable clean energy production.
LEAPTING’s fully intelligent module cleaning solution has been successfully deployed in multiple large-scale ground photovoltaic power stations in India, with a cumulative installed base of over 8 GW.
