Airtouch Solar India has won an award in the category of leading RE technology/product innovation at the REI Awards 2023.
Airtouch Solar India is the India arm of Airtouch Solar Group, an Israel-based developer of cleaning equipment for utility-scale solar PV plants. It recently launched Airtouch AT 4.0, its latest autonomous, water-free surface cleaning solution to prevent dust and soiling from affecting PV power generation.
Airtouch is already winning contracts for the solution, such as a $2.5 million deal with Adani Green Energy and a $8.5 million agreement with ReNew.
Like earlier solutions, the new Airtouch model is a robotic solution, operating autonomously. It is typically installed in arid and dusty locations. It uses airflow and microfiber wipers to remove soil from the PV module surfaces rather than water.
The latest version is designed to provide greater cleaning efficiency and better maneuverability, according to Airtouch Solar. It is a 4-meter cleaning unit that weighs less than 40 kg.
Airtouch operates two production centers – in Israel and India. The company operates, manufactures, and sells its products and services in Israel and India and is exploring new markets, mainly the US.
