Enhancing Solar Panel Efficiency with Innovative R&D Solutions

Sand and Snow Deposition on Solar Panels Significantly Reduces Efficiency

Solar panels require frequent cleaning, but current methods are unsustainable & costly.

Water Based Manual Cleaning

  • High Water Usage: Consumes large volumes of water, which is unsustainable in arid regions.
  • Labor-Intensive: Requires manual labor, increasing operational costs over time.
  • Logistical Challenges: Transporting water to remote or off-grid solar installations adds complexity and cost.
  • 2023: Over 15 billion liters of water and $1.2 billion USD spent on water-based solar panel cleaning.

Robotic Based Cleaning

  • High Initial Cost: Expensive to purchase and install robotic cleaning systems.
  • Frequent Mechanical Issues: Prone to breakdowns, especially in extreme temperatures or sandy conditions.
  • Limited Accessibility: Challenging to implement on uneven terrain or on rooftop solar installations.
  • 2023: Estimated to have cost solar farms over $2.5 billion USD globally, including maintenance and repairs.

At Swish, we are building self cleaning solar panel technology.

We aim to transform the solar energy industry with our technology designed to maximize solar panel efficiency. Our innovative solution is designed to keep solar panels efficient and clean in all conditions—no water, no moving parts, no hassle.

We believe in smarter, cleaner energy solutions for a sustainable world.
