WANLVSUNNY Buyer’s FAQ
From Product Selection to After-Sales Support
Q1: Who is WANLVSUNNY?
A : WANLVSUNNY (Wuxi Wanlv Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.) is a leading Chinese tech enterprise specializing in photovoltaic (PV) cleaning system R&D, manufacturing, and service integration. With over a decade of expertise in mechanical engineering and solar energy, we deliver full-stack solutions—from manual cleaning implements to AI-powered robotic fleets—for utility-scale PV plants, distributed arrays, and agrivoltaic projects globally.
Q2: Why is regular solar panel cleaning critical?
A : Photovoltaic modules suffer from PID (Potential Induced Degradation), soiling loss, and spectral attenuation due to dust, bird fouling, and atmospheric pollutants. Empirical data shows regular cleaning can restore ≥30% energy yield and extend module lifespan by mitigating hotspots and surface abrasion.
Q3: What is the optimal PV module cleaning methodology?
- Efficiency: ≥99.9% soiling removal rate
- Sustainability: Water-saving designs (up to 70% reduction vs. manual methods)
- Safety: Non-abrasive cleaning cycles compliant with IEC 61215 module durability standards.
Q4: What is the scientific basis for PV module cleaning frequency?
A : Cleaning intervals are determined by soiling rate models integrating meteorological data (dust deposition, rainfall), module tilt angle, and project location. For most regions, 2–4 cleanings/year suffice, while arid zones (e.g., Sahara periphery) require monthly maintenance with WANLVSUNNY’s dry-cleaning robots to prevent >20% efficiency loss.
Q5: Are WANLVSUNNY’s cleaning systems terrain and climate agnostic?
- Tracked robots (e.g., WLS-73S) for uneven terrains (mountains, gravel sites)
- IP65-rated units for coastal/high-humidity environments
- Thermal management systems for desert climates (operating temp: -25℃ to 60℃)All certified to withstand 1500Pa wind loads and 50mm/h rainfall intensity.
Q6: What is WANLVSUNNY’s water efficiency benchmark?
A : Our flagship models (e.g., WLS-7 Dual-Brush Robot) achieve 0.3L/m² water consumption, a 70% reduction compared to manual bucket-and-brush methods. For arid regions, we offer dry-cleaning variants with electrostatic dust adsorption technology, achieving waterless operation without efficiency compromise.
Q7: What is WANLVSUNNY’s product portfolio?
- Manual Tools: Single/double-head PV cleaning brushes (nylon-bristle, anti-scratch)
- Semi-Automated Systems: High-pressure cleaning machines (flow rate: 15–30L/min, pressure: 5–10MPa)
- Fully Automated Robots:
- WLS-7 Series: AI navigation, dual-brush design (cleaning width: 1.2m, speed: 300m²/h)
- WLS-73S Series: Tracked chassis, modular payload (compatible with dry/wet cleaning kits)
- Custom Solutions: Turnkey cleaning systems for GW-scale PV plants (integrated with SCADA for remote scheduling).
Q8: What differentiates WANLVSUNNY in the PV cleaning market?
- Technological Leadership: Patented dual-brush synchronous cleaning (patent No. ZL2023XXXXXX) and IoT-enabled performance monitoring.
- Reliability Engineering: Components rated for ≥5,000 working hours in -40℃ to 70℃ environments.
- Cost Efficiency: Factory-direct pricing with TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) reduction by 22% vs. competitors.
- Global Support: 24/7 technical assistance with localized spare parts hubs in Europe, MENA, and Southeast Asia.
Q9: Are WANLVSUNNY systems suitable for arid regions like Turkey or the Middle East?
- Dust-proof enclosures (IP66 rating) to prevent sand ingress
- High-temperature lubrication systems (operating up to 65℃)
- Water recycling modules (recovery rate: 85%) for regions with water scarcityField tests in Dubai showed consistent 98.7% cleaning efficiency under 50℃ ambient temperature.
Q10: Does WANLVSUNNY offer OEM/ODM services?
- OEM: White-label manufacturing with client branding (minimum order: 50 units)
- ODM: Full customization of mechanical structures (e.g., brush length, robot dimensions) and software (UI/UX, cleaning algorithms)Typical lead time for customized orders: 8–12 weeks.
Q11: How can I witness WANLVSUNNY’s technology in action?
- Global Exhibitions: Intersolar Europe, REI Expo, and Solar Show MENA (check our website for 2025 schedules)
- Virtual Demos: 3D product walkthroughs and live cleaning process videos on our YouTube channel (@WANLVSUNNYTech)
- Case Studies: Detailed reports on efficiency gains from projects in Germany, Australia, and Saudi Arabia (available via our technical library).
