Up to 26%

additional production

10.2%

Average increase over three-month period

"I'm thoroughly impressed by these production results. Before installing RST NightWash™, I was convinced that cleaning my panels twice a year would sufficiently address soiling losses. This was far from the truth. Now that my system is optimized with RST, I get to enjoy 23 years of increased production, while avoiding all the logistical headaches of manual panel cleaning."

Ricky C. of Burbank, California used RST Nightwash™ to increase the production of his solar panels and avoid potential issues of workers on his roof.

Impact

Increased production
  • RST NightWash™ improved production by up to 26%
  • Over the course of the three-month period, average energy production was 10.2% higher, even with major wind events alleviating the impact of soiling on the non-RST panels twice during this period.

Results

Based on these results, it is projected that retrofitting the entire solar array would result in roughly $350,000 in the pockets of the owner over the system’s remaining 23 year lifespan; this figure includes over $100,000 in avoided cleaning costs, and over $250,000 in increased energy production.

Why RST CleanTech?

Over 10 years ago, we set out to solve one of the biggest problems facing solar – panel soiling. We wanted to find a way to keep panels clean, maximize energy production, protect panel warranties, and increase revenue for system owners.

We knew there had to be a way to achieve our goals that didn’t entail deploying thousands of bristle-wielding workers or robots onto high voltage solar arrays across the world. When we realized there wasn’t, we created one. Enter, RST NightWash™.

RST NightWash™ is a safe, cost-effective, and eco-friendly automated solar panel cleaning solution.
