Robotic solar module cleaning equipment supplier, LEAPTING, has secured an order from ReNew Power to supply automatic solar module cleaning robots for more than 1 GW of capacity across two utility-scale solar projects in India.

ReNew Power has finalized the agreement for the cleaning robots covering a 609 MW project in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, and a 420 MW project in Bhadla, Rajasthan.

Both installations are designed with single-axis tracker systems. The deployment of LEAPTING’s G1 Automatic Solar Module Cleaning Robots will support stable module cleaning operations and improve generation efficiency.

LEAPTING will supply around 2,500 G1 robots for the two projects combined. The cleaning systems are being introduced to address persistent operational challenges commonly observed in large solar parks, including high soiling levels, reduced water availability, and harsh environmental conditions.

According to LEAPTING, its G1 robot is designed for large-scale and tracker-based solar plants, featuring fully automatic, unmanned operation and a water-free dry-cleaning mechanism.

Robotic cleaning enhances the performance of solar panels and energy output. It is more effective than manual water-based cleaning, ensuring higher module efficiency.

The system is built to function in high-temperature and dusty environments, ensuring consistent movement along tracker rows and reducing operational disruptions.

In November this year, LEAPTING secured a contract with renewable solutions provider BluPine Energy to supply 662 units of its G1 2P fully automatic cleaning robots. The cleaning robots will be deployed in two 100 MW solar projects in Radhanpur, Gujarat. They have a modular design for easy maintenance and remote control via long-range/4 G wireless communication technology, capable of cleaning up to 4,000㎡ per hour.

According to Mercom’s India Solar Market Leaderboard 2025 report, LEAPTING emerged as one of the top five robotic solar module cleaning equipment suppliers to the Indian solar market in 2024. LEAPTING held a 9.8% market share in the robotic solar module cleaning equipment supplier industry.
