NYUMA-X — PBT Single-Pass Tracker Cleaning Robot

A solar cleaning robot for single-axis trackers is an autonomous robotic cleaner purpose-built to operate on tracker-based solar power plants, where modules tilt across the day and where rows often have small angle deviations between adjacent tables. Taypro NYUMA-X is permanently assigned to a tracker array; at scheduled cleaning windows it self-deploys, executes a waterless single-pass cleaning cycle across the row, articulates its body up to ±15° to safely cross inter-table angle deviations, and returns to a shadow-free docking station to recharge, all without human intervention.

NYUMA-X is compatible with the leading single-axis tracker platforms used in utility-scale solar, including NEXTracker and Gamechanger. The robot integrates with existing tracker mounting structures without modifications to your modules, torque tubes or tracker hardware. For any non-standard tracker platform, our team will validate compatibility as part of the site assessment.

NYUMA is a fully autonomous robot for fixed-tilt utility-scale plants. HELYX is a semi-automatic pick-and-place robot for scattered, smaller or rooftop plants. NYUMA-X is the only Taypro robot purpose-built for single-axis tracker plants, it supports module tilts from -52° to +52°, flexes ±15° between tables, and is engineered for NEXTracker / Gamechanger style trackers. All three are waterless, AI-driven and managed from the same NECTYR portal.

NYUMA-X can clean up to 2.2 km of tracker running length, approximately 3,600 solar modules, on a single lithium-ion charge. The recommended sustained operational range is 1.6 km per cycle, ensuring a safe return to the docking station with battery headroom in every cycle.

No. NYUMA-X is 100% waterless, a single-pass cleaning cycle lifts over 99% of dust using rotating PBT brush or UV-stable PBT cleaning heads without any water, detergent or run-off. The docking station is fitted with an integrated lithium-ion charging system and does not require any external power source.

Yes. NYUMA-X moves along the frame of the solar modules, with binders that distribute load and preserve panel integrity. Every robot is independently tested for micro-crack formation, optical reflectance loss, full electrical parameter evaluation and Anti-Reflective Coating (ARC) preservation under simulated daily cleaning cycles by accredited solar-sector testing laboratories. NYUMA-X is also TÜV NORD certified for IP55 protection.

Tracker rows rarely sit perfectly co-planar across adjacent tables. NYUMA-X's flexible body articulates up to 15° to safely cross these inter-table angle deviations and works in conjunction with Taypro-supplied flexible bridges between tables, ensuring smooth, continuous cleaning across the entire row regardless of small terrain or tracker misalignment.

Pricing for NYUMA-X depends on the tracker platform, plant size, terrain and the level of integration with your existing SCADA and monitoring stack. Most tracker plant deployments achieve full ROI within 12–18 months through higher generation, eliminated water consumption and removed manual cleaning overhead.

Yes. NYUMA-X is engineered for harsh Indian utility-scale tracker field conditions: maximum operating temperature of 90°C, IP65 sealed enclosure, TÜV NORD certified IP55 protection, and field-validated under 12 simulated sandstorm cycles per year at 10 g/m² sand loading. It can clean in winds up to 40 km/hr and locks securely at its docking station up to 180 km/hr.

All NYUMA-X robots connect to the NECTYR using LTE, Wi-Fi, hybrid self-healing RF mesh, LoRa, and LoRaWAN. The portal provides a unified interface to schedule cleaning, adjust settings, monitor battery levels, view cycle telemetry, receive weather alerts and roll up performance across hundreds of robots and plants, from any device, anywhere.
