The solar panel absorbs energy from the sun and generates electricity. These panels need to be cleaned for their proper functioning. The dust, debris, and bird droppings or dead insects is expected to act as obstructions to sunlight falling on photovoltaic cells. It can limit the solar energy that reaches the solar cells, thereby reducing the overall power output and impacting the entire grid-connected system. In order to overcome the challenges, a solar panel cleaning equipment is developed to clean the entire panel by travelling the entire length of a panel
The manual cleaning was the only option for the solar panel service provider. However, several robotic technologies have entered the market. Some of the common types of cleaning robots are module cleaning robots, AI-enabled robots, and driving robots.
A solar panel mounted on a rooftop of building is for mini-power requirements. The size of the installation varies depending on the availability of space, amount of electricity consumed, and willingness of the owner to invest in solar panel installation. The roof mounted solar panels are a preferable choice for commercial and residential applications. However, the roof top mounted solar panels are often considered as less efficient as compared to ground mounted solar panels.
Market Dynamics
The Middle East is one of the most affected regions by dust, in the world, next to Africa. For instance, according to World Meteorology Organization, in the Middle East, there has been significant increase in the frequency and the intensity of dust and sand storms in the past 15 years as per 2017 data. The increase in dust can act as obstructions to sunlight falling on photovoltaic cells. It can limit the solar energy that reaches the solar cells, thereby reducing the overall power output and impacting the entire grid-connected system. Therefore, increase in dust and sand storms intensity supports growth of the solar panel cleaning robots market.
In the Middle East, demand for electricity is increasing at a notable rate supported by rapid rise in the construction and industrial activities. Therefore, factors such as increasing efforts to meet demand for electricity using renewable energy sources, supportive government policies, decrease in dependency of fossils and increasing solar panel installation at rapid rate are expected to create demand for solar panels in the region. For instance, according to the Middle East Solar Industry Association (MESIA), the value of solar projects that was operational in the Middle East and North Africa region was US$ 5 billion to US$ 7.5 billion in 2019.
Aforementioned factors are expected to boost demand for solar panel cleanings services, wherein the robotic cleaning demand is expected to grow at high rate as compared to conventional cleaning of solar panel.
