Solar

Panels that stay at full output.

Dust and grime cost solar owners real energy. Lienry treats a panel as its own material, sets the pressure to match, and cleans on the interval you choose.

Verified figures

What soiling costs.

These figures are from peer-reviewed and international sources; each is cited. They describe the problem, not Lienry's results.

  • 4–7%

    of global solar energy output lost to soiling, on average

How Lienry cleans panels

The right pressure, on your schedule.

  • It knows a panel is a panel

    During a clean the drone identifies each material it is cleaning and adjusts its pressure to suit.

  • Roofs and farms

    Rooftop solar is cleaned by the home system from a ground pod. Solar farms use the same pod and tether.

  • Your interval

    Set how often the drone should check and clean, and change it in the app whenever conditions change.

Rooftop panels are cleaned by the home system from a ground pod, on the interval you set, with pressure matched to the panel.
