RONY

Professional cleaning robot for solar panels and roofs

RONY Solar Panel Cleaning Robot

Demand for safe and efficient solar panel cleaning is growing rapidly. Dirt, dust, pollen and surface deposits can accumulate on photovoltaic panels and affect their performance.

​

The RONY solar panel cleaning robot provides professional cleaning companies, installers and maintenance providers with a compact, powerful and cost-effective solution for cleaning solar panels, roofs and small to medium-sized PV installations.

​

Thanks to its lightweight design, tracked drive system, HD video feedback and intelligent safety features, RONY can be operated by a single person for efficient professional cleaning without relying on aerial work platforms or scaffolding during the cleaning process. 

Why use a robot for solar panel cleaning?

Professional solar panel cleaning can be time-consuming, physically demanding and difficult to carry out safely.

​

Traditional cleaning methods often involve ladders, aerial work platforms, scaffolding or long telescopic poles, making projects slower, more labour-intensive and more expensive.

​

A solar panel cleaning robot such as RONY can make professional PV maintenance more efficient: 

  • No aerial work platform or scaffolding required during cleaning

  • Operated by a single person

  • Faster cleaning of small and medium-sized PV installations

  • Reduced physical effort during the cleaning process

  • Consistent cleaning across solar panels and roof surfaces

  • Compact alternative to large industrial solar panel cleaning robots

​

RONY is particularly suitable for installations where large cleaning robots are too expensive or cumbersome, while manual cleaning has become too time-consuming.

What makes the RONY solar panel cleaning robot different?

Compact and easy to deploy

With dimensions of just 600 × 400 × 150 mm, RONY has been designed for easy transport and professional use.

The robot weighs approximately 6 kg without brushes and 10 kg with brushes, making it manageable by a single operator.

Ideal for small and medium-sized PV installations

RONY has been developed for solar installations where large industrial cleaning robots may not be economically viable.

 

Typical applications include:

  • Residential solar panel installations

  • Solar carports and canopies

  • Agricultural buildings

  • Greenhouses with photovoltaic installations

  • Small and medium-sized commercial PV systems

  • Industrial solar panel installations 

Cleaning capacity up to 600 m² per hour

Despite its compact size, the RONY professional solar panel cleaning robot can clean up to 600 m² per hour, depending on site conditions, surface type and installation layout.

​

This makes it a productive solution for professional solar panel maintenance without requiring a large robotic system. 

Up to 2.5 hours of operating time

RONY is equipped with a 20,000 mAh semi-solid Li-ion battery, providing an operating time of up to 2.5 hours, depending on site conditions, slope and surface type. 

No mandatory drone pilot training

Because RONY is a ground-based cleaning robot rather than an aerial drone, C5/C6 drone pilot training is not required to operate the system.

Meldrone does offer optional start-up training to help professional users operate the robot safely and efficiently from the beginning.
