Recently, the photovoltaic module intelligent cleaning robot independently developed by China Energy Construction Nanjing Wire Co., Ltd. has successfully passed the new product appraisal and has been highly praised by the appraisal committee of the China Electrotechnical Society, believing that it has reached the international leading level in technological innovation and application. This breakthrough not only provides a new solution for the efficient operation and maintenance of photovoltaic power plants, but also marks an important step forward in the field of photovoltaic operation and maintenance technology in China.
Ⅰ. Technological innovation: breakthrough design empowers intelligent cleaning
1. RIS phased array networking technology
The photovoltaic cleaning robot adopts advanced RIS phased array networking technology, which improves the intelligence and automation level of the robot. By precisely controlling every action in the cleaning process of photovoltaic modules, the robot can accurately identify the surface condition of the modules and carry out corresponding cleaning operations, so as to ensure the cleaning effect and avoid damage to the modules.
2. "Robot + UAV" integrated operation and maintenance technology
In the cleaning process, the joint operation and maintenance technology of ground robots and drones combines the advantages of the two to form a three-dimensional operation and maintenance system. The robot is responsible for cleaning the ground to ensure that the surface of each photovoltaic panel is free of dust and stains; Drones are responsible for high-altitude patrols and inspections, providing real-time data feedback. This technology greatly improves the efficiency and flexibility of operation and maintenance, especially in remote areas or areas that cannot be directly reached, and the cooperation of drones makes cleaning and operation and maintenance work more comprehensive and efficient.
3. New nylon roller brush design
Cleaning efficiency and cleaning uniformity are the key to cleaning PV modules. The robot uses a new nylon roller brush with a 45° angle spiral structure, which can clean the surface of photovoltaic modules more efficiently while reducing the risk of damage to the surface of the module. The new roller brush not only improves the cleaning quality, but also effectively extends the service life of the photovoltaic power plant.

Ⅱ. Product advantages: efficient, intelligent and adaptable
1. Efficient cleaning
The robot can clean the photovoltaic modules in a high-frequency, automated mode to keep them dust-free for a long time, minimize the impact of dust on the panels, and improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic power station. Studies have shown that keeping the surface of photovoltaic panels clean can greatly improve their photoelectric conversion efficiency and ensure the continuous and efficient operation of power plants.
2. Intelligent O&M
The intelligent cleaning robot realizes the automatic cleaning and intelligent operation and maintenance of photovoltaic power plants, which greatly reduces the need for manual intervention. The system can automatically adjust the cleaning procedure and working mode according to the different environmental needs of the power station, thereby improving the overall operation efficiency and safety of the power station and reducing the operation and maintenance cost.
3. Adaptable
The robot has strong environmental adaptability and can work stably under harsh climatic conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, sandstorm, and rain. This makes it efficient to clean in a variety of environments, especially in desert areas or at high altitudes, where the robot's ability to resist water and dust ensures stable operation.
Ⅲ. Application scenario: the "operation and maintenance revolution" of photovoltaic power plants
The intelligent cleaning robot is mainly suitable for the cleaning and operation and maintenance of ground photovoltaic power stations. Since ground-mounted power stations are often located in vast open areas or remote areas, and often face challenges such as manpower shortages and water shortages, robots have become a powerful tool to solve these problems. Especially in large-scale photovoltaic power plants, the efficiency and automation of robots can greatly reduce operation and maintenance costs, and at the same time effectively improve the long-term operation efficiency of the power station.
Ⅳ. Appraisal and evaluation: international leading level of technological innovation
The appraisal committee of the China Electrotechnical Society spoke highly of the intelligent cleaning robot, believing that it has performed well in technological innovation, product advantages and application scenarios, and has reached the international leading level. In particular, the committee pointed out that the robot is not only a technological breakthrough in the field of photovoltaic cleaning of China Energy Construction Nanjing Wire Company, but also represents the technological frontier of China's photovoltaic industry in intelligent operation and maintenance.
Ⅴ. Prospects: a new driving force for the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry
With the continuous development of the photovoltaic industry, the scale of photovoltaic power plants continues to expand, and the demand for module cleaning and operation and maintenance will continue to grow. In the future, intelligent cleaning robots will become an important tool for the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic power plants, providing solid technical support for the efficient, safe and sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry. Especially in scenarios with a large number of photovoltaic panels and complex environments, this innovative product will show great market potential.
With the continuous maturity of technology and the increase of market demand, intelligent cleaning robots are expected to become a new standard in the photovoltaic power station operation and maintenance industry. Through intelligent equipment, we can improve cleaning efficiency, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and enhance the reliability and safety of the system, so as to promote the development of the entire industry in the direction of more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Conclusion
