Solar Panel Cleaning
Boost Efficiency by up to 20%
Optimise Energy Output & Efficiency
Highland Drones delivers specialised robotic cleaning solutions for large-scale solar installations. Our advanced cleaning technology effectively removes dirt, dust, and debris, enhancing solar panel efficiency by up to 20%—a significant boost for commercial and utility-scale operations.

Why Robotic Cleaning?
Advanced cleaning technology for maximised solar efficiency and sustainability.
Consistent, Thorough Cleaning
Using state-of-the-art equipment like the SolarCleano robotic system, Highland Drones offers reliable and thorough cleaning designed for extensive arrays. This approach ensures maximum surface area coverage, reducing manual errors and providing deep cleaning for optimal energy production.
Scalable Solutions for All Installations
Our robotic cleaners adapt to various array sizes, handling everything from commercial rooftop panels to sprawling utility fields with ease. Modular by design, our robots scale to match your site’s needs, providing a flexible solution regardless of installation size.
Eco-Friendly & Water-Efficient
Traditional cleaning methods can consume significant amounts of water. Our robotic systems are designed for minimal water use, aligning with sustainability goals while significantly reducing operational costs.
20% Boost in Efficiency
Clean panels operate at peak performance, increasing energy output and reducing the cost per kWh.
Reduced Operation Cost
Automated cleaning minimizes labor, and water-efficient systems cut down on resource usage. Over time, these cost savings enhance your return on investment.
Extended Panel Lifespan
Regular cleaning prevents debris buildup, reducing wear and extending the service life of your panels—saving money on replacements.
Robotic Cleaning Technology
Our robotic systems provide robust, efficient cleaning with advanced features tailored to large-scale solar needs.
Commercial Cleaner:
Ideal for rooftop and commercial setups, handling arrays with up to a 25° tilt and cleaning up to 2,000 m² per hour.
Utility-Scale Cleaner:
Designed for expansive solar farms, this high-capacity robot cleans up to 3,000 m² per hour and can handle wet or dry cleaning. Smart sensors and remote controls allow for precise, adaptable cleaning across all weather conditions.

Environmental Impact
By optimising solar panel efficiency, regular robotic cleaning can contribute to significant CO₂ savings. In New Zealand, maintaining optimal panel performance across commercial arrays could prevent thousands of metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually by maximising renewable energy output.
