Qeraton Arabia offers energy management and renewable energy services including photovoltaic cleaning systems. Their automatic PV cleaning systems use water sprays and rotating brushes mounted on a rail system to clean solar panels, removing dust and other pollutants that can cause up to 25% reduced productivity. They have ongoing PV cleaning projects in Saudi Arabia using different equipment tailored to the size and needs of each solar plant.
