Autonomous Surface Cleaning

Solar panels.
Cleaned by drones.

Glair deploys swarms of autonomous cleaning robots via aerial drones to maintain solar farms and skyscraper facades — at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional methods.

01 — The Problem

Glass is everywhere.
Cleaning it is broken.

Two massive, fast-growing markets. Both still solved with ropes, scaffolding, and lift equipment.

Solar farms lose a significant portion of their energy output annually without regular cleaning — in the fastest-growing sector of US power production.

Skyscraper facade cleaning is a massive annual market still run on ropes, scaffolding, and lift equipment. High cost, slow throughput, no modern solution.

03 — The Scale

One panel per minute.
Per drone.

A swarm of Glair drones doesn't just replace a crew — it replaces the entire operation.

Speed

~1 surface per minute

Each drone-robot pair cleans and moves to the next surface in under a minute. At scale, a fleet covers thousands of panels in a single session.

Scale

Swarm-ready

Deploy one drone or one hundred. The system is designed from the ground up for coordinated multi-drone operation across large installations.

Coverage

Any surface, any height

Solar farms, high-rise facades, skylights. If it's glass and it's dirty, a Glair drone can reach it — without scaffolding, without delay.
