Water-free robotic cleaning system is being deployed to minimise water consumption associated with the maintenance of solar modules

Adani Green Energy (AGEL) is set to introduce water-efficient robotic cleaning technology across its operational solar capacity, comprising 4,830 MW. The move is expected to bring result in substantial water savings, aligning with the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

Currently, 30 per cent of AGEL’s operational solar and hybrid capacity, amounting to 2,070 MW, is equipped with robotic cleaning technology, conserving 283 million litres of water annually. By extending this technology to cover the entire operational capacity of 7,043 MW, AGEL estimates an annual water saving of around 880 million litres.

The water-free robotic cleaning system is being deployed to minimise water consumption associated with the maintenance of solar modules. AGEL plans to implement this technology not only across its operational solar and hybrid sites but also in future projects, particularly in arid regions such as Rajasthan and Kutch in Gujarat, where water resources are scarce.

Top company sources reaffirmed the company’s resolve to contribute to India’s decarbonisation goals by delivering more than 45 GW by 2030. Adani Green currently has India’s one of the largest operating renewable portfolio, with 8.4 GW capacity. The adoption of water-saving robotic technology underscores AGEL’s dedication to environmental responsibility while making significant strides in the renewable energy sector.
