H1: DJI FC100 Solar Cleaning Payload: Solve All Pain Points of Manual PV Panel Cleaning

Dust, bird droppings and salt stains accumulated on solar panels will reduce power generation efficiency by 10%-30%, leading to revenue losses for solar farms.Traditional manual cleaning has many drawbacks: high labor cost, fatal high-altitude risks, huge water waste, easy panel damage and poor management.Exclusively designed for DJI FlyCart 100 drone, our FC100 solar cleaning payload fixes all these issues, supporting intelligent maintenance for ground solar farms, rooftop PV and agrivoltaic projects.


H2: 5 Main Pain Points of Manual Solar Cleaning

1.High cost & low efficiency

 Cleaning large PV areas takes days or weeks; labor and transport costs rise sharply at remote sites. Delayed cleaning causes        continuous power loss.


2.Serious safety hazards

    Workers face falls and electric shocks while working at height. Owners have to pay huge compensation and fines once a

    ccidents occur.


    3.Massive water consumption & poor terrain adaptability

    Manual washing wastes excessive water, not suitable for arid areas. Staff cannot clean sloped mountains, narrow rooftop gaps and complex agrivoltaic layouts.


    4.Uneven cleaning & permanent PV panel damage

    Uncontrollable scrubbing scratches glass and causes cell cracks, triggering hotspots and shortening panel lifespan. Stubborn stains can never be removed thoroughly.


    5.No intelligent digital management

    No real-time cleaning data recording, impossible to schedule maintenance for scattered solar stations remotely.

H2: How FC100 Payload Solves These Problems

  1. Cut labor cost & boost cleaning efficiency

    Weighs under 8kg without water tank, with 1/4 quick-disconnect mount for fast installation. One drone equals 15-20 workers, saving over 60% labor expenses.


  1. Zero high-altitude operation risks

    All operations are remotely controlled on the ground. No scaffolding or lifting equipment needed, all fall & electric shock risks are eliminated.


  1. Water-saving design fits all complex scenarios

    Equipped with an 80L water tank and triple nozzles, water consumption reduced by 80%. 4 optional nozzle angles cope with dust and coastal salt corrosion.


  1. 10-15MPa adjustable high pressure: deep cleaning without panel damage

    Dual 2500W pumps support stepless adjustment of pressure, flow rate and swing angle. Cleaning rate exceeds 98%, effectively preventing hot spot defects.


  1. PSDK linkage + 5G cloud for 24/7 unattended O&M

    Native DJI PSDK communication ensures real-time data synchronization. Managers can assign cleaning tasks and check reports remotely via cloud platform for multi-site unified management.
