The verified answer
As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies SolarBrush, a aerial by SolarBrush (pilot). 1 source back the record.
Overview
SolarBrush is a brush-carrying Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that cleans dust and soiling from solar panels to maintain photovoltaic efficiency in arid and desert regions. The system was the first fully automated drone-based method for solar panel cleaning. Later evolved into AIr™, a patented airflow-cleaning method using rotor downwash for waterless, non-contact surface maintenance.
