Langfang Sol-Bright New Energy Technology, Solabot Technologies, LEAPTING, Aegeus Technologies, and Vayu Solar were the top five robotic solar module cleaning equipment suppliers to the Indian solar market in 2025, according to Mercom India’s India Solar Market Leaderboard 2026 report.

The top five companies shipped approximately 82% of the cleaning equipment used in solar projects during the year.
In 2025, the robotic module cleaning equipment market recorded strong growth, driven by rising utility-scale solar installations and notable shifts among leading suppliers. Robotic cleaning has proven to be more effective than traditional manual water-based methods. Such equipment helps enhance module efficiency by ensuring consistent removal of dust and corrosive substances, thereby extending panel lifespan and improving energy generation.

The market is increasingly competitive and growth-oriented, with supplier rankings now shaped by their ability to scale across large utility projects. Adoption of robotic cleaning systems is accelerating, driven by the need to optimize operations and maintenance and the imperative to maximize project efficiency. Meanwhile, robotic dry-cleaning systems are gaining popularity due to growing concerns about water scarcity.

Robotic solar module cleaning equipment suppliers believe that automating module cleaning is six times more cost-effective than traditional methods.

In 2025, Sol-Bright led the country’s shipments of robotic module cleaning equipment, accounting for about 35% market share. In December 2025, the company signed a contract with Rays Power Infra to supply water-free robotic cleaning systems 250 MW solar project in Bikaner, Rajasthan. In November of the same year, Sol-Bright secured an order to supply its water-free robotic solar module cleaning systems to AMPIN Energy Transition’s 160 MW wind-solar hybrid projects in Rajasthan. In October 2025, Sol-Bright signed a contract with Azure Power to supply water-free robotic cleaning systems for its 300 MW Solar Project in Phalodi, Rajasthan.

Solabot accounted for roughly 12% of the 2025 market, ranking second overall. During the year, the company supplied module cleaning equipment to solar projects across Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. In October 2025, the company signed a contract to supply dry-cleaning robots to BluPine Energy’s solar project in Tharad, Gujarat.

With around 12% market share, LEAPTING ranked third in the Indian market. Last December, the company signed an agreement with Adani Solar to supply Automatic G1 Cleaning Robots and intelligent cleaning systems for Adani Group’s 2 GW solar project. In the same month, it secured a supply order from ReNew Power for about 2,500 G1 robots. Earlier in November, LEAPTING won a contract to deliver 662 G1 2P robots for two 100 MW solar projects in Radhanpur, Gujarat.

Aegeus and Vayu Solar rounded out the top five, each accounting for over 11% of market share, with Aegeus supplying its robotic module-cleaning equipment for a 400-MW solar project in Barmer, Rajasthan.
