Taypro, Langfang Sol-Bright New Energy Technology, Airtouch Solar, Vayu Solar, and LEAPTING were the top five robotic solar module cleaning equipment suppliers to the Indian solar market in 2024, according to Mercom’s recently released India Solar Market Leaderboard 2025 report.

Taypro led the country’s shipments of robotic solar module cleaning equipment, accounting for 27.5%.

Langfang Sol-Bright New Energy Technology and Airtouch Solar followed, accounting for 18.8% and 13%, respectively. Vayu Solar and LEAPTING rounded off the top five, with 11.1% and 9.8% market shares, respectively.

The top five companies shipped over 80% of the cleaning equipment used in the solar projects during the year.

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

In 2024, several entities floated tenders for the comprehensive operation and maintenance (O&M) totaling around 340 MW of ground-mounted and rooftop solar projects. The scope of work of these projects includes regular cleaning of solar modules.

All of the top five robotic cleaning companies experienced a significant year-over-year (YoY) rise in shipments.

In 2024, Taypro supplied its module cleaning equipment to a 360 MW solar project in Rajasthan.

Sol-Bright supplied module cleaning equipment to the 3.5 GW Khavda Solar Project in Gujarat.

Airtouch Solar announced in April 2024 that it had secured a $6 million order from Adani Green Energy (AGEL) to supply robotic dry cleaning equipment in Rajasthan. In October 2024, Airtouch Solar received an order from Juniper Green Energy for the supply and installation of robotic cleaning equipment for a solar project in Rajasthan.

Vayu Solar supplied its module cleaning equipment to a 200 MW solar project in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.
