Large-scale solar panel cleaning — MW-scale robotic fleet deployment
100 MW is not a pilot — it is a production O&M challenge. Taypro deploys multi-robot fleets on SECI, DVC, and IPP projects from 50 MW to 360 MW single sites, with defined robots-per-MW, commissioning playbooks, and NECTYR fleet oversight.

Engineering models for robots-per-MW, night-window coverage, and cycle count to hit PR recovery targets.
Pan-India service & spares
Regional breakdown response, spare parts inventory, and remote diagnostics for fleets operating in remote solar parks.
Audit-ready reporting
NECTYR block-level cleaning logs and monthly settlement for lender, SECI, and internal O&M audits.
Phased mobilisation playbook
Zone-by-zone robot deployment on 200 MW+ sites minimises operational disruption. Commissioning playbook includes mapping, connectivity, operator training, and parallel O&M coordination.
SECI and CPSU compliance alignment
Cleaning SOPs, NECTYR logs, and monthly reconciliation structured for utility tender compliance and lender technical due diligence.
Deployment model
How many cleaning robots per MW at large scale?
There is no universal robots-per-MW ratio — it depends on fixed tilt vs tracker, row length, transfer points, target cycles per month, and battery swap strategy. Taypro engineers model fleet size during site assessment using stored row geometry and throughput targets.
On 100 MW+ tracker plants, GLYDE-X or NYUMA-X fleets with CRADYL row transfer are standard. Fixed-tilt blocks at 200–360 MW may deploy tens of GLYDE units with coordinated NECTYR scheduling across zones.

100MW solar cleaning and beyond — Taypro deployment evidence
Akhadana Rajasthan 360 MW, Bachau DVC Gujarat 300 MW, and Neneva Gujarat 250 MW represent automatic-first Taypro GLYDE fleets at the upper end of Indian utility scale. These are production deployments — not demonstration arrays.
Fleet sizing on 100 MW tracker plants typically involves GLYDE-X or NYUMA-X with CRADYL transfer stations at row ends. Fixed-tilt 200 MW blocks may run coordinated multi-zone GLYDE fleets with NECTYR scheduling across zones.

100 MW is not a pilot.
Large-scale solar panel cleaning requires production fleet operations — not a handful of demo robots.
Taypro deploys tens of robots on 200–360 MW sites with NECTYR fleet oversight, regional spares, and dedicated operators. That is the bar for MW-scale cleaning procurement in India.

Large-scale solar cleaning — FAQ
Enterprise procurement questions for 50–500 MW plants.
Yes. Taypro has multiple 100 MW+ references and single-site deployments up to 360 MW with automatic GLYDE fleets. Fleet size and mobilisation timeline are modelled per site.
Robots-per-MW varies by installation type, row geometry, and cycle count. Taypro provides a site-specific fleet model during engineering assessment — not a generic brochure number.
Phased mobilisation is typical: site mapping, zone-by-zone robot deployment, operator training, and NECTYR onboarding. Timeline depends on row count and access — proposed during commercial engagement.
Yes. Taypro has experience on SECI-tendered and state discom utility plants with robotic cleaning fleets and managed OPEX programmes.
Both models are used at scale. CAPEX suits long hold periods and balance-sheet capacity. OPEX suits fast mobilisation and predictable per-panel opex. Many IPPs run portfolio-level analysis using our ROI calculator.
