In the realm of solar energy, the maintenance of solar farms traditionally relies heavily on manual labour and machines with limited autonomy, leading to high costs, operational disruptions, and discontinuous performance improvements. Exagro, however, is changing the game with their innovative technology, promising continuous and automated maintenance services that enhance plant efficiency while minimising risk.

Revolutionising Solar Plant Maintenance: Exagro's SolaRider

In the realm of solar energy, the maintenance of solar farms traditionally relies heavily on manual labour and machines with limited autonomy, leading to high costs, operational disruptions, and discontinuous performance improvements. Exagro, however, is changing the game with their innovative technology, promising continuous and automated maintenance services that enhance plant efficiency while minimising risk.

As the world's reliance on renewable energy grows, the need for efficient maintenance solutions becomes paramount. Exagro's technology aims to increase cost-effective clean energy to consumers by providing continuous, automated maintenance services that not only improve plant efficiency but also de-risk operations through preventative maintenance strategies.

At the forefront of Exagro's innovation is SolaRider, a utility-scale solar plant maintenance robot designed to revolutionise the maintenance process. Unlike conventional methods, SolaRider employs an autonomous shuttle to deliver the maintenance system to solar arrays, with state-of-the-art shuttle and array alignment. By combining the cleaning process with continuous on-board thermographic scanning and in-panel current monitoring, SolaRider offers a comprehensive solution that ensures optimal plant performance and early fault detection.

Additionally, SolaRider utilises environmentally responsible technology; it is solar-powered and the cleaning process is waterless. This reduces the environmental footprint and aligns with the industry's sustainability goals.

Exagro's vision extends beyond technological advancement; they aim to become the preferred maintenance solution for utility-scale solar consumers worldwide. With the solar maintenance market projected to expand significantly, SolaRider is poised to play a pivotal role in meeting the growing demand for automation and efficiency.

SolaRider boasts a range of functionalities, including thermal scanning, in-panel current scanning, panel cleaning, defective panel marking, reporting, and autonomous transfer between solar arrays. Its modular design comprises CleanScan (Cleaning and analysing) , Moove (shuttling CleanScan between arrays) and mBase (where Moove and CleanScan executes self-service).

Leading the charge at Exagro are Tom and Michael, seasoned professionals with decades of industry experience and a passion for innovation. With their expertise in engineering and business management, they drive Exagro's mission forward, pushing the boundaries of autonomous maintenance technology.

As Exagro continues to innovate and evolve, SolaRider stands as a testament to their commitment to radical automation. With its groundbreaking technology and visionary leadership, Exagro is poised to shape the future of solar energy maintenance on a global scale.
