Sandstorm is a new patented technology, unique in the world and all made in Sicily, ready to revolutionize the clean tech and green energy sectors. Reduces 80% maintenance and cleaning costs of photovoltaic systems. Enel Green Power has already tested its technology
Enel Green Power, in its laboratories, has tested the technology of Sandstorm, a real revolution in the field of green economy and clean tech industries. «Sandstorm is the first product manufactured under the Reiwa Engine brand and ready to be industrialized and marketed» explains Salvo Salerno, the marketing manager of Reiwa Engine. «It is the first robot in the world to really innovate the sector of cleaning solar panels because it allows to reduce by 80% the maintenance costs of the plants. And it does so in a dry, low impact and without wasting resources».
WHAT IS SANDSTORM AND HOW IT WORKS
Thanks to the patented technology, Reiwa Engine has developed a robot that makes cleaning more efficient because it moves in absolute autonomy in every area of the photovoltaic system overcoming all the differences in height between the rows of panels that the current robots cannot overcome.
This is not the only advantage in terms of economy and efficiency: Sandstorm is also much lighter and easy to assemble, optimizing logistics and transport, is not subject to wear and tear and is equipped with proprietary software that allows any maintenance in real time and at no cost. In addition, it is equipped with a washing system that allows you to save even on resources such as water fuel and labor needed for much of the current cleaning systems.
ROBOTIC AUTOMATION FOR LARGE PHOTOVOLTAIC PARKS
The reference market of Sandstorm is that of large photovoltaic parks that due to soiling (the layer of dust or sand that reduces the absorption of sunlight by the panels) lose about 25% of production. A loss that for the big of the green economy results in serious economic losses but that thanks to the technology of Reiwa Engine can be zeroed.
The Sandstorm robot, after the first tests carried out in the laboratories of Enel Green Power, now awaits further performance tests to understand how it can increase its efficiency and to what extent it can reduce the negative effects of soiling on the production of solar energy from photovoltaic panels.
