Discover our Disruptive Self- Cleaning Innovation for Solar Panels and Glazing
Electrostatic waves
Our technology works by levitating the dust and sand and moving it off the surface of the solar panel.
The operation is monitored by built-in sensors which measure the luminosity, humidity, temperature of the surface and other essential parameters. Cleaning is fully automatic and triggered by the integrated sensors and AI controllers any time of the day when necessary, thus eliminating the need for human intervention. A cleaning cycle lasts less than 60 seconds.
It removes more than 90% of the dust within 20 seconds, 98% within 60 seconds and works automatically by sensing the amount of dust settled on the surface. It enables solar panels to self-clean with zero water, zero manpower and no mechanical parts using a negligible portion of energy that the panel produces itself.

Disruptive
The power output delivered from a photovoltaic module depends on many factors, such as the irradiance, angle of sun, latitude, weather. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region the most significant adverse impact on the panel’s efficiency is the dust and sand that settles on the surface of the panel (called “panel soiling”).
The accumulated dust or sand on the surface of the PV modules may reduce the power output by 80% of the original value and solar installations have to face costly and polluting cleaning operations.
CleanFizz is the cost-efficient, fully-automated, water-saving and time-saving solution to clean dust and sand off PV panels that the solar power industry desperately needs to continue produce cheap and clean electricity in desert areas.

Reliability
CleanFizz technology consists of parallel electrodes placed under the glass surface and connected to an advanced electronics controller using artificial intelligence and IoT technology which controls and automates the operation. The electronically induced traveling waves levitate the sand particles and carry them off the surface to fall by gravity.
The technology is fully integrated into the solar panel, requires no mechanical parts and uses a negligible portion of energy that the panel produces itself.

Sustainability
Existing cleaning methods for solar panels require the consumption of huge quantity of water. In the MENA region, the world’s most water stressed region, the water used for cleaning is sourced from desalinated seawater which incurs high costs and fossil fuel use.
Allowing to save an amount of water equivalent to the yearly water consumption of 300’000 persons, CleanFizz water and carbon footprint is extremely positive with no more water wasted.

Return-On-Investment (ROI)
Long-term profitability, reduction of labour and water use are critical as alternative renewable energy solutions compete against each other.
In desert regions, water procurement costs are sharply rising due to high demand driven by increased solar projects being deployed.
Cleaning panels account for 26-35% of total operations and maintenance costs if surface and ground water are used, and even higher when desalinated water is used.
