The global solar panel cleaning market size was valued at $0.6 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $1.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031.
In the second quarter of 2021, an increase in labor improved the supply of chain in the U.S., which is a dominating country in the solar panel cleaning market, as well as a post covid recovery, ameliorating industrial progress. However, it is anticipated that sales of solar panels for power generation will increase in the next years due to elements including supportive government policies and initiatives to fulfill expanding energy demand using renewable energy sources thus results in increase in demand of solar panel cleaning market.
Solar panel cleaning is a process that removes gathered components, such as dust, bird droppings and ashes from wildfires from the panel surface. This procedure is executed to restore power conversion capability of solar panels where accumulated particles act as a blockage between the sunlight and panels. Also, different approaches are used in the process for diverse applications due to their efficiency in enhancing power output and restoring module efficiency.
The rising emphasis toward panel efficiency optimization, followed by increasing renewable integration across the overall energy mix will favorably stimulate the business landscape. The adoption of the service is expected to be further fueled by strict environmental regulations combined with advantageous government incentives and subsidies for the implementation of solar photovoltaic. The industrial landscape is expected to be positively impacted by the increased customer preference for environmentally friendly cleaning techniques as well as the deployment of cutting-edge technologies to remove accumulated particles effectively without damaging the modules.
Industrial and commercial solar panel cleaning systems seem to be hard to implement since water and energy sources are usually not available near the solar panels. Because they may be on rooftops, carports, or off the ground, cleaning them could be dangerous. Each installation is distinct since solar panel installers do not take cleaning into account when constructing the setup. With this cleaning system, water consumption is substantially higher, operators must be skilled, and the robots might be large and heavy, prompting the use of two to three operators. These factors are expected to hamper the global solar panel cleaning market growth.
The solar panel cleaning market analysis is segmented on the basis of technology, process, mode of operation, application, and region. On the basis of technology, it is classified into wet cleaning and dry cleaning. By process, the market is categorized into semi-automated, automated, water brushes, electrostatic, and automated robotic. On the basis of the mode of operation, the market is classified into manual and autonomous. Based on application, it is divided into residential, commercial, industrial and utility, and others.

By technology, the wet cleaning segment was the highest revenue contributor to the market, with $441.4 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $868.4 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 7.1%. Low unit cost, high reliability, and easy accessibility are key characteristics enhancing product demand.
By process, the semi-automated segment was the highest revenue contributor to the market, with $226.6 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $448.7 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 7.1%. The semi-automated market segment will grow because of the ability to reduce high soiling rates, faster cleaning services, and minimal maintenance costs.
By application, the industrial and utility segment was the highest revenue contributor to the market, with $255.3 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $497.5 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 7.0%. Industrial solar power systems are increasingly used by various sectors such as textile, cement, paper, steel, chemical, dairy and ceramic industries to cut down their electricity expenses.
By mode of operation, the manual segment was the highest revenue contributor to the market, with $440.9 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $862.7 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 7.0%. Manual cleaning is practical for smaller installations of up to about 5,000 rooftop panels at office parks, shopping centers, industrial, educational and medical facilities, and others. It works best for rooftop installations, those that cover many buildings with various rooftop configurations.
By Region, Asia-Pacific was the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period.This was attributed to the adoption of PV systems is being encouraged by the implementation of several rules and regulations by the relevant governments to reduce GHG emissions, which further improve the outlook for the industry.
