APPLICATIONS
Where R1 fits
Application fit depends on site geometry, access, soiling, utilities and the cleaning workflow.
Utility solar farms
Flexible cleaning across large module fields with an operator controlling direction from a safe distance.
Commercial ground arrays
Useful where row geometry varies and a permanently installed robot is not preferred.
Water-limited sites
Dry-cleaning capability supports suitable loose-dust conditions after site assessment.
MANUFACTURING & QUALITY

PRODUCT FAQ
Frequently asked questions about R1
What PV panel angle can R1 work on?
R1 is specified for working angles up to 20 degrees. Actual suitability also depends on module surface, weather, track condition and array geometry.
Can R1 cross gaps between modules?
The published maximum span is 20 cm. Gap direction, height difference, frame shape and edge condition must be reviewed before operation.
How long does the battery run?
The catalog states a typical runtime of 6-8 hours with two 26 Ah battery packs. Real runtime varies with slope, brush load, travel and operating conditions.
Can it clean without water?
Yes. R1 supports dry and water-cleaning modes. Dry cleaning should be selected only when the dust and module conditions are suitable.
