The 19th International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition took place in Shanghai from June 3 to 5. At the event, SunPure Technology Co. Ltd. – a high-tech renewable energy enterprise based in the Hefei National High-tech Industry Development Zone –received China's first national-level certificate for the general technical specifications of photovoltaic module cleaning robots.

Formulated in line with national standards, this landmark certificate lays out clear rules for the intelligence level, cleaning efficiency, and full-cycle safety performance of photovoltaic cleaning robots. It requires qualified products to run reliably and stably in all kinds of application environments, so as to satisfy user demand across different scenarios.

At the exhibition, the company showcased an intelligent equipment unit equipped with 3D visual recognition, autonomous intelligent navigation, and a high-precision servo control system. The unit is capable of installing up to 100 photovoltaic components per hour, delivering an operational efficiency that outperforms traditional manual work by four-to-five times.

The equipment delivers stable and continuous operation, ranging from high-temperature desert regions to frigid high-altitude zones. This breakthrough expands the application of intelligent power station robots from the post-construction maintenance phase to the front-end construction stage, leading a new wave of transformation in intelligent photovoltaic engineering.

According to SunPure Technology, the global contracted installation scale of its photovoltaic robots has exceeded 44 GW, with its business footprint extending to over 30 countries and covering more than 300 power stations across the world. 

The company will continue to optimize the performance and efficiency of photovoltaic power generation systems, targeting a 150-billion-yuan ($22.19 billion) market scale by 2030.

The Hefei high-tech zone is one of the first national high-tech industrial zones ratified by the State Council in 1991. Located in Hefei, capital of eastern China's Anhui province, the zone has now formed industrial clusters in a number of emerging industries such as photovoltaic new energy and artificial intelligence.
