After separately releasing drone-based cleaning agents and solutions for agrivoltaic systems last year, the next step for Chemitek Solar is to unveil a cleaning solution safe for agrivoltaic systems that can be applied by drones. Chemitek has developed its Drone AgroPV Cleaning Agent and will officially launch it at Intersolar Europe 2026 in June.
Agrivoltaic systems present unique operational challenges, including the accumulation of organic soiling, agricultural residues, fine dust, limited accessibility and coexistence with crops. These conditions often limit or render conventional cleaning methods impractical, creating the need for advanced, drone-compatible chemical solutions that ensure effective cleaning while preserving agricultural activities and crop development.
The Drone AgroPV Cleaning Agent integrates Chemitek Solar’s AgroPV product range, completing a portfolio of biodegradable cleaning, water treatment, and soiling mitigation solutions designed for agrivoltaic systems. The development is part of the Alliance for Energy Transition, Project Code: 56, Reference No. C644914747-00000023, funded by the PRR – Recovery and Resilience Plan (Portugal), reinforcing Chemitek Solar’s commitment to technological innovation, energy transition and the sustainable integration of solar energy production with agricultural activity.
Key highlights of the Drone AgroPV Cleaning Agent include high efficiency in the removal of organic soiling and agricultural residues; full compatibility with drone-based spraying systems; safe formulation for crops and soil; and reduced water consumption and minimal operational impact on agricultural land. The product is being developed with a strong focus on sustainability and safety. It is a biodegradable formula and is compatible with seed germination and plant growth.
“The use of drones for cleaning agrivoltaic systems represents a decisive step forward for this segment. Our goal is to deliver a chemical solution specifically adapted to this technology, combining efficiency, safety and sustainability,” said César Martins, CEO of Chemitek Solar.
