India just generated 50% of its electricity from clean sources. For 15 minutes. Sounds trivial? That's how every record starts: first minutes, then a day, then a month, then a whole year. Some states are already there: Karnataka crossed 60% clean power last year.

Our favourite way to clean solar panels, which is the safest and provides the best results, is with our specially designed robots. With brushes front & back rotating at 180rpm, it never gets tired or needs a tea break and can clean up to 4000 panels in a day! #solarUK #solar #renewables #cleanenergy
