Report Overview

Europe Solar Panel Cleaning Robot Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2029

Europe solar panel cleaning robot market size was estimated at USD 125.02 million in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, Europe solar panel cleaning robot market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.37% reaching a value of USD 263.9 million by 2029. The increasing emphasis on optimizing panel efficiency, followed by increasing renewable integration across the overall energy mix, will positively stimulate the business landscape. Adoption of the service is expected to be boosted further by stringent environmental regulations combined with advantageous government incentives and subsidies for solar photovoltaic installation. The increased customer preference for environmentally friendly cleaning techniques, as well as the deployment of cutting-edge technologies to effectively remove accumulated particles without damaging the modules, are expected to have a positive impact on the industrial landscape.

Europe Solar Panel Cleaning Robot Market - Overview

Cleaning solar panels involve removing accumulated debris from their surface, including dust, bird droppings, and ash from wildfires. When collected particles operate as an obstruction between the solar panels and sunlight, this technique is carried out to restore the power conversion capabilities of the panels. As a result of their effectiveness in increasing power output and recovering module efficiency, other ways are also used in the process for a variety of applications.

Growth Drivers

Increasing Investments in Solar Panel Cleaning Robots

After first appearing in a variety of industrial landscapes, automation is steadily infiltrating the solar energy industry. Solar modules are typically guaranteed for 25 years, and cleaning is critical for effective power generation, which affects the bottom line. Several robotic technologies have entered the market, offering a less expensive method of cleaning solar panels than hand cleaning. Drones and robots are making solar panel cleaning more efficient and effective, improving the performance and power output of PV panels while lowering labor costs. Some of the most common types of robotic cleaning systems are module cleaning robots, driving robots, and AI-enabled robots.

Restraints

High Cost Associated with Solar Panel Robots

One of the primary factors impeding the market's growth is the high cost of solar panel cleaning robots. When compared to traditional solar panel cleaning systems, the robotic solar panel cleaning system is more expensive. For instance, a manual cleaning system costs about US$ 1000, whereas an automatic robotic cleaning system might cost anywhere between US$ 50,000 and US$ 1,00,000. For a 1 MW solar panel facility, a water-based robotic cleaning system will also cost roughly US$ 40,000 in Operation & Maintenance (O&M) expenses, of which cleaning expenses account for nearly 80%. While the typical cost of a waterless cleaning system for a comparable installation is not more than US$4,000/year/MW.

Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Solar Panel Cleaning Robot Market

The rapid spread of COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected all industries throughout Europe. The situation caused significant economic deterioration, and the government was forced to close commercial and educational sectors for an extended period. To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, most countries implemented lockdown, which is now being phased out and industry by industry. This has had a significant impact on the manufacturing sector, as facilities across Europe have been temporarily shut down. Solar panel projects were either postponed or canceled as a result of the lockdown, affecting the business of solar panel cleaning robots.
