The YFT-ROBOT by Yifeng is an intelligent automated robot designed to clean photovoltaic (PV) solar modules using a nylon brush and water spray system. It is intended for residential, commercial and large-scale solar power plants to maintain panel cleanliness and energy output.
Key specs include model YFT-ROBOT, sweeping width 1.7 m, continuous operation (7*24), nylon brush material, weight 36 kg, dimensions 2820*500*190 mm, packaged in carton and shipped from Shanghai Port. Supply capacity is listed at 100,000 sets per month.
The robot uses a rotating nylon brush combined with a controlled water spray to remove dust, dirt and deposits from module surfaces. The brush provides mechanical scrubbing while the water spray helps rinse away residues.
Yes — the product includes remote control for starting, stopping and guiding operations. Basic operation typically involves powering the unit, positioning it on the module/array, and using the remote to start an automatic cleaning cycle or perform manual maneuvers. Refer to the user manual or supplier for detailed operating procedures.
The specification states 7*24 operation capability, meaning it is designed for continuous operation. However, practical use at night or continuous scheduling should consider safety, visibility, local regulations and weather conditions.
It is suitable for utility-scale solar power plants, commercial rooftop arrays and many residential installations. For non-standard panel layouts, special frames or steep tilts, confirm compatibility with the supplier.
The robot uses a soft nylon brush and a water spray designed to be gentle on glass surfaces. When used according to manufacturer guidelines it should not damage panels. Always follow the installation and operating manual and avoid abrasive chemicals or hard scrubbing against fragile frames or coatings.
The product description does not list the specific power source. PV cleaning robots can be battery-powered, tethered to external power, or hybrid. Contact the supplier or request the detailed datasheet to confirm the YFT-ROBOT's exact power configuration and runtime per charge if battery-powered.
Recommended frequency depends on site conditions: dusty or pollutant-heavy environments may need weekly or monthly cleaning, while cleaner locations may require quarterly cleaning. Monitor energy production losses to determine the optimal schedule for your site.
Water consumption is not specified in the provided description and will vary with spray settings, cleaning duration and soiling level. Ask the supplier for typical water usage figures or configurable flow-rate options.
Routine maintenance includes inspecting brushes and spray nozzles, clearing debris, checking drive components and electrical connections. Brush wear depends on usage and environment; replace brushes when bristles are worn or less effective. Request spare parts and maintenance intervals from Yifeng for precise guidance.
The provided description does not list specific sensors or safety systems. Many cleaning robots offer optional sensors, bumpers or emergency stop functions. Confirm available safety features, certifications and optional upgrades with the manufacturer or distributor.
Warranty and support details are not included in the product summary. Contact the supplier or Yifeng directly to get information about warranty terms, installation/training services, spare parts availability and after-sales support packages.
The robot is dispatched from Shanghai Port. Supply capability is noted at 100,000 sets per month, but actual lead times depend on order volume, customization and logistics. Ask the seller for current lead times and shipping options to your location.
Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor to request a detailed datasheet, video demo, technical drawings, pricing and ordering information. Provide site details (panel type, tilt, layout and soiling conditions) so the supplier can recommend the correct configuration and any necessary accessories.
