Rider

The solar cleaning robot designed for roofs

Performance in the service of photovoltaic yield

The Rider is the latest cleaning robot developed by AX Solar Robot, a French specialist in robotic solutions for photovoltaic power plants since 2020. Designed for cleaning rooftop solar panels, it combines lightness, efficiency, and ease of use.

Regularly cleaning your solar panels is essential: dirt, dust, or bird droppings reduce efficiency by up to 10% per year. On average, this represents a loss of €4 to €7 per panel per year for a standard installation. The Rider offers a quick and cost-effective solution to this problem.
