					</table><p>Robotic solar module cleaning equipment supplier, <a href="https://www.leapting.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LEAPTING</a>, has secured a contract from renewable solutions provider, <a href="https://blupineenergy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BluPine Energy,</a> to supply 662 units of its G1 2P fully automatic cleaning robots.</p>
<p>The cleaning robots will be deployed in two 100 MW solar projects in Radhanpur, Gujarat.</p>
<p>The LEAPTING G1 is a waterless cleaning robot designed for solar modules. It features zero-damage cleaning, dust and water resistance, and real-time all-wheel drive for slopes up to 25 degrees.</p>
<p>The cleaning robot features a modular design for easy maintenance and remote control via long-range/4 G wireless communication technology, capable of cleaning up to 4,000㎡ per hour.</p>
<p>LEAPTING provides services in automatic navigation vehicle-mounted cleaning, dry-hanging cleaning, module inspection, and automated component laying.</p>
<p>According to Mercom’s India Solar Market Leaderboard 2025 report, LEAPTING was one of the top five robotic solar module <a href="https://mercomindia.com/top-robotic-solar-module-cleaning-equipment-suppliers-in-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cleaning</a> equipment suppliers to the Indian solar market in 2024. LEAPTING held a 9.8% market share in the robotic solar module cleaning equipment supplier industry.</p>
<p>In September 2025, LEAPTIING signed an agreement to supply dry-hung automated guided cleaning robots and their supporting systems in batches for a 450 MW solar power project in Rajasthan.</p>
<p>Robotic solar module cleaning equipment suppliers believe that automating module cleaning can potentially help consumers <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/robotic-solar-module-cleaning-is-six-times-cheaper-than-traditional-means" target="_blank" rel="noopener">save</a> six times more than traditional module cleaning methods.</p>
<p>Robotic cleaning enhances the performance of solar panels and energy output. This method proves more effective than manual water-based cleaning, ensuring higher module efficiency. Periodic removal of dust and corrosive substances helps modules extend their lifespan and optimize generation.</p>
<p>Speaking at Mercom India’s RE Buyer Seller Meet in Pune, Yogesh Kudale, Chief Executive Officer at Taypro, stated that when customers opt for traditional cleaning, they spend approximately ₹1 (~$0.0116) to ₹1.2 (~$0.014) per module, including water expenses. “However, that cost comes down to ₹0.2 (~$0.002) per module if a customer goes for robotic cleaning.”</p>
