Reportedly, Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) plans to install robotic cleaning technology for its 4,830 MW of operational solar capacity that will help save 595 million litres of water annually.
Presently, 2,070 MW, or 30 per cent, of its operational 7,043 MW solar and hybrid capacity is covered by robotic cleaning technology, which conserves 283 million litres of water annually. Deploying robotics technology for the entire 7,043 MW operational capacity will help save around 880 million litres water annually. AGEL is deploying water-free robotic cleaning system to minimise water consumption for the maintenance of solar modules. AGEL plans to implement this across its operational solar, hybrid sites (solar capacity of hybrid) and its future projects, especially in arid and dry regions like Rajasthan, and Kutch in Gujarat, where renewable water sources are scarce.
