Technical overview:

The Solar Cleaner C4000 C-AP is the most advanced version of Metalmeccanica's photovoltaic panels cleaning machines:

- It is particularly suitable for the big plants located in the desert, where the configuration of the soil constantly varies as a result of wind and sand.

- The dozer blade makes the machine able to work on any ground, leveling the soil and removing any hollow on it. It can mount brushes up to 6 meters, granting a great efficiency.

- It is equipped with an air-conditioned cockpit that makes it comfortable to use, the lights placed on the front, on the rear and on the boom, permit its use during the nighttime.

- It is installed on an undercarriage with crawlers made of rubber or steel, depending on the customer’s needs, it is driven by a Perkins turbo liquid-cooled engine (44.7 KW).

The Solar Cleaner F3500 C-AP is the self-propelled version of Metalmeccanica's photovoltaic panels cleaning machines:

- It's very versatile and able to meet any need that may appear on the field.

- It can be equipped with brushes up to 5 mt in lenght and with a high pressure multi-jet collector, stretching to a maximum reach of 6,5 mt from the edge of the machine.

- The machine is installed on an undercarriage and it's equipped with: Perkins liquid-cooled internal combustion engine, hydraulic system based on gear pumps, proportional distributor, heat exchanger, suction and return filters, oil tank incorporated in the structure of the chassis, water tank with a 1800 litres capacity.

- 24 volt electrical system with an electronic control unit that runs the various functions of the machine.

- During the cleaning process the automatic mode is managed via sensors placed on the brush body, which, acting directly on the machine's controls, guarantee a constant distance of the brush from the panels preventing any risk of damaging them.

- The machine is equipped with a high pressure multi-jet collector and a system for water's pre-heating, particularly suitable for thin film panels cleaning.

Technical Features:

- The machine operates according to the system of automatic car wash, using PTO of the tractor and it is formed by double articulated arm, the end of which is positioned the brush body full of water collectors and proximity sensors.

- The equipment is mounted on a base that can be applied on agricultural tractors and which also contains the water tank, the hydraulic oil tank and the electrical panel provided with PLC thatmanages the operation of the machine.

- The working phase is automatically handled by PLC installed on the machine that works directly with the commands of the same by the sensors attached to the body brush.

- It guarantees the constant distance of the brush from the panels to avoid accidental collisions that may cause damages.
