Performance & Test Methodology

Purpose

This page explains how Taypro Private Limited defines, measures, and communicates performance figures on taypro.in — including "99%+" dust-removal statements and references to generation or performance ratio recovery. It is intended for asset owners, EPC teams, and O&M leads evaluating robotic dry cleaning for utility-scale PV in India.

What "99%+ dust removal" means

• Dust removal is the fraction of loose surface particulate removed from the module glass in one completed cleaning pass (Model-B) or automated dual-pass cycle (Model-A, Model-T), under defined test or field conditions.
• It does not mean the solar panel converts 99% of sunlight to electricity, nor that the plant will gain 99% more energy output.
• Figures are platform-dependent: brush-based semi-automatic paths (Model-B) and dual-pass autonomous paths (Model-A / Model-T) use different mechanics and are quoted per pass or per cycle accordingly.

Generation recovery vs. module efficiency

Soiling on Indian utility plants can suppress usable output when washing is infrequent — industry discussions often cite roughly 8–25% seasonal soiling loss depending on region, tilt, and O&M practice. Robotic dry cleaning aims to recover energy that would otherwise be lost to dust, not to raise nameplate module efficiency.

Actual MWh recovered depends on your baseline soiling, cleaning cadence, tariff, and weather. Taypro does not publish a single universal "efficiency increase %" for all sites. Use the ROI calculator for directional economics, then request a plant-specific assessment from our applications team.

How we test and validate

Taypro validates cleaning performance through a combination of:

1. Controlled bench and field trials on representative module types, using standardised artificial and natural dust loads where applicable.
2. Visual and gravimetric checks (before/after surface condition and mass of removed dust) on deployed platforms.
3. Operational data from live fleets — cycle completion, route coverage, and performance ratio trends where customers share SCADA or IV data under NDA.
4. Third-party review — selected platforms are TÜV NORD certified; certification scope is stated on product datasheets and proposals.

Results vary with dust type (agricultural film, sand, pollen, post-storm mix), module tilt, tracker motion, and whether one or two passes are completed in a cycle.

Platform summary

Uptime and service commitments

Marketing references to "highest uptime" or "same-day breakdown" response describe Taypro service targets backed by pan-India spares, Taypro Console remote diagnostics, and AMC programs. Contractual SLAs are defined in customer agreements, not on this page.

Plant-specific documentation

For tenders, lender diligence, or internal technical review, Taypro can provide site-specific cleaning plans, cycle assumptions, and — where available — anonymised field outcomes from comparable deployments. Contact our applications team with plant capacity, layout, and location.
