The complete autonomous way of cleaning
solar plants!

Introducing LOTUS-A4000, a fully-autonomous and waterless solar panel cleaning robot. It's an intelligent, independent, and one of the most advanced ways of cleaning a solar plant. Each robot is dedicated to every solar row with its own solar charging-based docking station. LOTUS-A4000 is the ultimate reliable and hassle-free solution to daily clean and maintain solar plants operating in harsh and arid regions.

Upto 10% more generation output than bi-weekly cleaning

LOTUS A4000 cleaning system is based on ultra-soft microfiber cloths rotating along the length direction of the robot. The microfiber cleaning fins generate airflow and a controlled impact that flicks off the dust particles from the panels without any scratching or dragging.

Machine Design

Our attention to detail and support from IIT Delhi has resulted in a precision-engineered machine that delivers performance while consuming less power.

Patened Technology.png

Patented Technology

We have patented our unique dual-drive system with real-time orientation control which helps to overcome the module irregularities upto 40 mm.

This aluminum and steel-made drive-unit is custom-designed to be strong and lightweight.

Precision Engineered

The precision engineered parts provide desired features of high strength and reliable operation while minimising the weight and power loss.

Our robots have passed multiple outdoor and indoor tests of 100 + hours of continuous-operations in IIT Delhi's facilities.

  • The wheels of the robot run on module frame to transfer the load from the frame to the underlying structure.

  • Microfiber cleaning fins flicks-off the dust and debris to prevent any damage to the Anti-Reflective Coating (ARC).

  • Appropriate hardness of the wheel coating material (TPU) provides cushion as well as durability.

  • In-lab simulations result in a Factor-of-Safety (FOS) value of 5.62.
