Key success factors
Holding a strong intellectual property portfolio, being accredited with certifications from leading panel manufacturers and independent laboratories, as well as leading financial institutions, Ecoppia is making a radical change in the way utility scale sites in arid regions operate and succeeding in lowering the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE). With an efficiency loss of up to 40 per cent in dusty areas, Ecoppia offers a field-proven, innovative and patented solution that ensures an on-going state of dust-free solar panels, even in the toughest desert conditions. The Ecoppia E4's fleet of robots performs nightly cleaning, removing 99 per cent of soiling in each operation, and an immediate recovery after dust storms, enabling a peak performance all around the year.

With proven track record of cleaning over 150 million panels in India and the Middle, Ecoppia's E4 fleet of robots perform nightly cleaning removing 99 per cent of soiling in each operation, enabling peak performance of panels year round and an immediate recovery after dust storm.

Working with the largest energy companies worldwide, such as NTPC, Adani Power, SunEdison/TerraForm, EDF, ENGIE Group and others, the highly-effective Ecoppia robotic system is deployed over more than 350MW in solar sites both in India and the Middle East.

Awards & certificates
Ecoppia has won Silver Edison Awards 2017, honouring the best in innovation and innovators, for groundbreaking innovation in the solar solutions category The Ecoppia E4 robotic cleaning solution is fully certified by leading manufacturers, independent laboratories and financial institutions for being an effective solution that won't damage panels or impact warranties. World-renowned independent authority PI-Berlin performed rigorous stress and destruction tests on the E4 using dozen of the world's leading panels. Results were unanimous across the board in showing no power degradation and no change in electroluminescence of panels after 40 years of daily cleaning and over 45 dust storms a year in acceleration test Ecoppia also emerged as a winner in the ' Technology Excellence' category at the 2nd annual Conference-Expo-Awards 'Roadmap for Innovations in Solar Energy' - RISE 2017.
