In the Buyer-Seller Meet held in Bengaluru, Suraj Vernekar, Managing Director at Aegeus Technologies, said that developers are evaluating fully autonomous, semi-autonomous, and hybrid cleaning solutions based on site conditions, plant size, terrain, and row length.

He noted that while robotic dry-cleaning costs ₹0.35 (~$0.004) to ₹0.60 (~$0.006) per module, about one-third the cost for conventional manual water-based cleaning, reducing water usage and labor requirements. Lower operating costs enable developers to clean modules more frequently, improving generation by an estimated 0.75% to 1%.

Aegeus Technologies was one of the top five robotic solar module cleaning equipment suppliers in 2025, according to Mercom India’s India Solar Market Leaderboard 2026 report.
