Why Use the Todos Photovoltaic Cleaning System?
1. Technical Efficiency: Breaking the “Gray Loss Dilemma” in PV Operations
-
Invisible Killer of Power Generation Efficiency
- Dust accumulation leads to a cumulative effect of light attenuation. Studies show that uncleaned solar panels lose an average of 6%-25% of annual power generation (“Reflections on a New Solar PV Component Cleaning System”). The Todos spiral brush, combined with a high-speed motor operating at 120 RPM, achieves a cleaning rate of over 99%. This extends the cleaning cycle from the traditional manual cleaning (lasting 48 hours) to 72 hours, recovering more than 18% of annual power generation losses.
- Dust accumulation causes hotspots that accelerate component aging. Real data from a 500 MW power plant shows that after using the Todos system, the annual degradation rate of components decreased from 0.8% to 0.5%, extending their lifespan by 3-5 years.
-
Intelligent IoT Reconstruction of Operation and Maintenance Models
- Traditional manual inspections have over a 30% missed detection rate, whereas the Todos system achieves component-level dust monitoring via a cloud platform, dynamically adjusting cleaning frequency based on weather data (e.g., automatically initiating emergency cleaning after dust storms), enhancing energy efficiency by 11% compared to fixed-cycle cleaning (“Research on IoT-Based Automatic Cleaning System for Solar PV Panels”).
2. Economic Model: Revolution in Total Lifecycle Cost
| Cost Item | Traditional Manual Cleaning | Todos Automated System | Difference Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per Clean | $0.12/W (including water fee) | $0.03/W (pure electricity) | -75% |
| Repair Frequency | Average of 2.3 times/year | Average of 0.4 times/year | -82% |
| ROI Period | 8-10 years | 3.2 years (including government subsidies) | -60% |

- Marginal Cost Approaches Zero Effect: The system is equipped with a 55W self-powering solar panel, achieving energy self-circulation under an average daily sunlight condition of 4.5 hours, resulting in an operational marginal cost that is only 17% of the traditional model.
- Asset Preservation and Appreciation: Component cleanliness is incorporated into the power plant asset valuation system, where plants using the Todos system have an estimated valuation premium of 8%-12% (PwC Renewable Energy Asset Valuation White Paper).
3. Environmental Adaptability: Technological Breakthrough in Extreme Scenarios
-
Rigid Requirement for Water-Free Cleaning
- Traditional high-pressure washing in desert areas faces water consumption of 3.2 tons per megawatt-hour, while Todos’ dry sweeping technology eliminates water usage, resolving the water conflict in 43% of global PV installed capacity areas (International Renewable Energy Agency Report).
- The customized water-sweeping module utilizes misting micro-spray technology, using 89% less water compared to traditional spraying, making it especially suitable for heavily polluted areas like coal power zones.
-
Reliability Verification in Harsh Environments
- Through 2000 hours of continuous testing at the Gobi Desert Test Center: under conditions of 70°C high temperature and wind speeds of 18 m/s, the IP65 protection rating ensures a failure rate of less than 0.7 occurrences per thousand hours, with a 22° climbing capability compatible with the inclined installation requirements of bifacial components.
