Surface pollutants such as dust, snow, oil, and sand on photovoltaic modules can significantly reduce light transmittance, resulting in a 10% -30% decrease in module power generation efficiency and seriously affecting the power generation revenue of the power station. Traditional manual cleaning has pain points such as low efficiency, high cost, significant safety hazards, and uneven cleaning effects, especially for large ground power stations, mountain power stations, and water power stations, where manual cleaning is extremely difficult and costly. Jiangsu Jingwei Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the pain points of clean operation and maintenance of photovoltaic power plants, and innovatively develops the JW-J01 photovoltaic cleaning robot car. With intelligent autonomous navigation, efficient cleaning system, strong environmental adaptability, and low operating costs, it provides unmanned, efficient, and standardized cleaning solutions for photovoltaic power plants, helping them reduce costs, increase efficiency, and ensure safe operation and maintenance. Photovoltaic cleaning robot
As a research and production enterprise of photovoltaic intelligent operation and maintenance equipment, Jiangsu Jingwei has been deeply involved in the field of photovoltaic cleaning for many years. The core team integrates technologies from multiple fields such as robot control, sensor fusion, and intelligent path planning to overcome technical problems such as poor obstacle crossing ability, weak adaptability, low cleaning efficiency, and easily damaged components of traditional cleaning robots. The JW-J01 photovoltaic cleaning robot car launched this time is a benchmark product that deeply integrates the company's technological innovation with market demand. It is compatible with fixed brackets, flat single axes, mountains, water surfaces and other full scene photovoltaic power stations, achieving all-weather, automated and high-efficiency cleaning operations.
Intelligent navigation and autonomous operation to achieve unmanned operation and maintenance. JW-J01 adopts modular chassis design and multi-sensor fusion navigation technology, integrating various sensing devices such as laser radar, visual sensors, ultrasonic sensors, etc., to achieve autonomous path planning, precise positioning, cross row walking, and automatic obstacle avoidance between photovoltaic arrays. Without manual control, the robot can autonomously recognize the frame of the photovoltaic module, walk steadily along the frame, and automatically complete the cleaning operation of the entire array; When encountering obstacles, it can quickly identify and autonomously navigate, or automatically stop warning to avoid collision damage to components. Support multi robot collaborative operation, flexible allocation according to the scale of the power station, greatly improving the cleaning efficiency of large-scale power stations. Equipped with a remote monitoring system, operation and maintenance personnel can view the robot's operating status, cleaning progress, and remaining battery level in real time through a mobile app or PC, supporting remote start, pause, and fault reset, achieving "unmanned operation and remote control".
Efficient cleaning system that balances cleaning effectiveness and component protection. JW-J01 is equipped with a rotating roller brush and negative pressure adsorption composite cleaning system, using high-density flexible bristles and high-speed rotation technology, which can effectively remove various pollutants such as dust, snow, sand, oil, etc. on the surface of components, with a cleaning efficiency of over 99.5% by the Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee. Different from traditional high-pressure water cleaning, JW-J01 supports waterless cleaning mode, without the need for a water source, avoiding water waste and component short circuit risks, and is suitable for photovoltaic power plants in water scarce areas; For severe pollution scenarios, the mild wet cleaning mode can be switched to accurately control the water volume, balancing cleaning effectiveness and component safety. The roller brush adopts an elastic adaptive design, which can automatically adjust the pressure according to the surface flatness of the component, avoiding hard contact and scratching the glass cover plate of the component, and protecting the component intact throughout the process. The cleaning process synchronously completes the surface inspection of components, intelligently identifies defects such as hot spots and hidden cracks, and generates reports, achieving an integrated operation of "cleaning+detection".
Strong environmental adaptability and long endurance, suitable for complex working conditions. JW-J01 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy with light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and aging resistance, and is suitable for long-term outdoor operation. Adopting an anti slip track type walking structure, it has strong grip and can stably walk on photovoltaic modules with an inclination angle of ≤ 15 °, making it easy to cope with uneven terrain in mountainous power stations; Has strong obstacle crossing ability, can cross obstacles up to 5cm in height, and is suitable for power plant scenarios with large differences in component height. Powered by high-energy density lithium batteries, it can operate continuously for more than 5 hours on a single charge, with a cleaning area of over 2000 square meters; Supports fast charging and can be fully charged in 2 hours, meeting the continuous cleaning needs of large-scale power plants. Equipped with an intelligent power management system, it automatically returns to the charging point or provides a shutdown warning for low battery levels, avoiding battery damage caused by power loss. The working temperature range is from 20 ℃ to 60 ℃, and it is not afraid of harsh environments such as high temperature exposure, low temperature and cold, wind, sand, rain and snow. It can operate stably throughout the year.
The value of cost reduction and efficiency improvement is significant, and it is suitable for promotion in all scenarios. In terms of cost, JW-J01 can replace 3-5 cleaning workers, significantly reducing labor and management costs, and recovering equipment investment in 1-2 years; In terms of efficiency, the cleaning speed can reach 30-50 meters per minute, and the daily cleaning area of a single machine can reach 10000 square meters. The efficiency is more than 10 times that of manual cleaning, and the cleaning effect is uniform and stable; In terms of safety, the entire process is unmanned, completely avoiding safety hazards such as manual high-altitude operations and electric shock, and reducing operational safety risks. Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee. JW-J01 is widely suitable for various scenarios such as large-scale ground photovoltaic power stations, mountain photovoltaic power stations, surface photovoltaic power stations, and distributed rooftop photovoltaic power stations, especially for power stations in water scarce, remote, and high-risk operating environments.
At present, JW-J01 has been put into commercial operation in photovoltaic power stations in Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu and other places, with a cumulative clean area of over one million square meters and good feedback. It can effectively improve the module power generation efficiency by 15% -20%, bringing significant power generation benefits to the power station. The Technical Director of Jiangsu Jingwei Technology Co., Ltd. stated that "photovoltaic cleaning is an important part of power plant operation and maintenance, directly affecting power generation revenue. The launch of the JW-J01 photovoltaic cleaning robot car solves traditional cleaning pain points with intelligent and unmanned technology, providing efficient, economical, and safe solutions for photovoltaic power plant operation and maintenance. In the future, we will continue to optimize robot navigation technology and cleaning systems, continuously improve product performance, help photovoltaic power plants achieve intelligent and efficient operation and maintenance, and promote the green and sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry. ”
