About

BladeRanger specializes in autonomous robotic systems for the cleaning and inspection of solar panels. Their solutions aim to enhance the efficiency and productivity of solar energy installations by integrating AI-based monitoring, performance diagnostics, and automated reporting into solar operations and maintenance workflows.

Their flagship product, PLECO, is an autonomous, water-free, lightweight cleaning robot designed for commercial and industrial rooftop solar installations. PLECO is equipped with advanced technology and innovative features, enabling efficient cleaning without the need for manual intervention.

In addition to PLECO, BladeRanger offers DeepSolar, a software platform that provides analytics and monitoring for utility-scale solar sites. DeepSolar helps identify performance issues with diagnostic checks of photovoltaic assets and assists in systematically recording downtime events, detecting previously invisible performance issues.
