Overview
Alion Energy's SPOT is a track-based autonomous robotic solar panel cleaning system designed for utility-scale solar plants. The patent-pending vehicle operates on concrete ballast tracks integrated into solar racking systems, eliminating dust disturbance and structural load concerns. It autonomously cleans panel rows with integrated water tank and spinning brush/wiper head, featuring wet and dry cleaning modes. The system is self-powered via solar panel charging with electric motors for propulsion, designed to reduce labor costs and maintenance burden by minimizing robot count across large solar installations while delivering consistent, repeatable cleaning results.
