GaussClean PR-1 is an autonomous robot that spots soiling with AI and lifts it off with a 5-stage, dry-first head — using 50ml of water per panel and no power-hungry vacuum. Built for Rajasthan's dust. Priced for India's O&M.
In Rajasthan, soiling can cut generation by up to 30%. Manual cleaning drinks thousands of litres of water per MW and puts workers on hot panels at dawn. The desert doesn't care. Neither does the dust.
PR-1 rides the panel rows on its own. It looks, decides, cleans, and tells you what it did. No diesel bowser. No squeegee crew.
Onboard AI scores soiling per panel in real time. Clean panels get skipped — no wasted passes.
Autonomous row traversal with encoder odometry. Edge detection keeps it on the array.
Dry-first: a brush lifts loose dust into a sealed path, a whisper of water clears the bonded layer, a dry buff finishes streak-free.
Telemetry, before/after soiling scores, and water used — streamed to your dashboard.
Desert dust is silica — harder than the panel's coating. So PR-1 lifts it, never drags it. A dry brush sweeps loose grit into a sealed, gravity-fed bin before a single drop of water touches the glass. Watch one pass:
YOLO v8 on Jetson Orin scores every panel before touching it. Cleans what's dirty, skips what's not.
Dry-first sweeping pulls hard silica grit off before water touches the glass — so the coating never gets sanded.
A sealed mechanical broom replaces the blower. ~50–80W instead of ~300W — smaller battery, longer runs, near silence.
Just 50ml per panel. A 1 MW block cleaned on less water than one household uses in a day.
IP65 sealed. Dust storms, 45°C summers, panel-top vibration — engineered for it, not despite it.
4G connected. Live telemetry over MQTT, fleet view on a clean dashboard, alerts when something's off.
No robot to buy. No crew to hire. Robot-as-a-Service — you pay for clean panels, we handle the machine.
Solar farms sit in deserts. Cleaning them shouldn't drain them — or scratch them.
50ml per panel, metered and logged. Every litre accounted for.
Dry-first lift means hard grit leaves before water and microfiber touch the glass. No sanding, no micro-scratches.
Your telemetry is yours. Encrypted in transit, exportable anytime.
Remote stop. Geofenced operation. Full session logs, every run.
