LEAPTING to Supply Smart, Waterless Cleaning Systems for 2 GW of Adani Solar Projects in India

LEAPTING has entered into an equipment supply agreement with Adani Solar to deploy intelligent, automated cleaning solutions across 2 GW of photovoltaic projects in India. Under the agreement, LEAPTING will provide its G1 automatic solar module cleaning robots, along with integrated smart cleaning management systems, for large utility-scale installations.

The projects are located in regions with high dust levels and fluctuating temperature and humidity conditions, where module soiling has consistently affected power generation. According to LEAPTING, dust accumulation can lower solar output by 20–40%, while conventional manual and water-based cleaning approaches present operational and sustainability challenges at scale.

To address these issues, the G1 cleaning robots feature fully automated, navigation-based, water-free technology, designed to operate effectively in dusty environments with limited water availability and uneven terrain. The company stated that the systems are expected to help maintain stable module performance, enhance plant reliability, and improve long-term energy yields.

Adani Solar, part of the Adani Group, is among India’s leading solar module manufacturers and is targeting 45 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030. LEAPTING noted that it has been a long-term technology partner to the group and has already deployed intelligent cleaning solutions across approximately 7 GW of Adani’s solar assets.

Earlier in December, LEAPTING also secured a separate order from ReNew Power to supply cleaning robots for over 1 GW of solar capacity. The order includes two large utility-scale projects: a 609 MWp / 435 MWac plant in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, and a 420 MWp / 300 MWac project in Bhadla, Rajasthan.

Both ReNew projects will use single-axis tracker systems integrated with LEAPTING’s G1 automatic cleaning robots to ensure consistent module cleaning and improved generation performance under varied climatic conditions. As part of this deployment, LEAPTING will supply around 2,500 G1 robots, aimed at mitigating high soiling levels, water constraints, and extreme operating environments commonly encountered at large solar installations across India.
