Israeli startup Solar Drone has developed a drone designed to clean solar panels, in partnership with another Israeli startup, Airobotics. The drone is programmed to fly over solar farms, cleaning each panel with a high-pressure jet of cleaning fluid. The drone can operate in all weather conditions and even in the dark, due to its night-vision capabilities. Solar Drone was founded in 2020 as a one-stop shop for cleaning, monitoring and inspecting solar panels. The company recently completed a successful pilot with Enlight Renewable Energy, a publicly-traded Israeli company that builds and operates solar and wind power facilities.
