Robotic solar module cleaning equipment supplier, LEAPTING, has secured a contract from 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.

The LEAPTING G1 is a waterless cleaning robot designed for solar modules. It features zero-damage cleaning, dust and water resistance, and real-time all-wheel drive for slopes up to 25 degrees.

The cleaning robot features 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.

LEAPTING provides services in automatic navigation vehicle-mounted cleaning, dry-hanging cleaning, module inspection, and automated component laying.

According to Mercom’s India Solar Market Leaderboard 2025 report, LEAPTING was 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.

In September 2025, LEAPTIING signed an agreement to supply dry-hung automated guided cleaning robots and their supporting systems in batches for a 450 MW solar power project in Rajasthan.

Robotic solar module cleaning equipment suppliers believe that automating module cleaning can potentially help consumers save six times more than traditional module cleaning methods.

Robotic cleaning enhances the performance of solar panels and energy output. This method proves more effective than manual water-based cleaning, ensuring higher module efficiency. Periodic removal of dust and corrosive substances helps modules extend their lifespan and optimize generation.

Speaking at Mercom India’s RE Buyer Seller Meet in Pune, Yogesh Kudale, Chief Executive Officer at Taypro, stated that when customers opt for traditional cleaning, they spend approximately ₹1 (~$0.0116) to ₹1.2 (~$0.014) per module, including water expenses. “However, that cost comes down to ₹0.2 (~$0.002) per module if a customer goes for robotic cleaning.”
