Acoustic cleaning technology for solar modules
R&D Manager Smart Acoustic Solutions at Fraunhofer IDMT
Ilmenau, Germany
About
We offer an innovative, contactless cleaning technology for photovoltaic modules based on acoustic excitation as a complementary technology component for your consortium. Our approach enables efficient removal of dust and soiling using targeted sound waves—without water, chemicals, or mechanical contact.
Our goal is to contribute this solution as a sub-technology within a consortium addressing broader topics such as photovoltaics, operational optimization, system integration, circular economy, or sustainable energy generation. Acoustic cleaning can, for example, help increase energy yield, reduce maintenance costs, or extend the lifetime of PV systems.
We are looking for consortia that:
-
pursue innovative approaches for PV systems, operations, or sustainability,
-
are interested in integrating new cleaning technologies as an optional module,
-
want to leverage synergies between different operation and maintenance solutions.
Our technology is flexibly integrable and can be included as a demonstrator, pilot, or optional work package in your project. We look forward to connecting with consortia that value holistic and future-oriented solutions in the field of photovoltaics.
