Beijing, December 2025 — As China’s cumulative installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity enters the “terawatt era,” the focus of the energy transition is quietly shifting from “scale expansion” to “quality and efficiency first.” The rapid growth of distributed rooftop projects, in particular, has rendered the traditional, high-risk, low-efficiency “manual labor + water gun” maintenance model unsustainable. Against this backdrop, the “smart O&M” wave, represented by intelligent cleaning robots, is rising across the industry, driving a profound shift towards unmanned and intelligent operations. As a pioneer in domestic solar power systems and smart O&M cleaning technology, Multifit Solar is precisely responding to this era’s demands with a series of independent, innovative smart products and solutions, offering the “Multifit Answer” to the operational challenges of distributed PV.
Navigating the Shift: From Industry “Growing Pains” to a Transformative “Opportunity”
Currently, distributed PV operations and maintenance face three core challenges. First, an efficiency bottleneck. Manual cleaning is not only slow but can also lead to power generation losses of 5%-8% due to incomplete cleaning. Second, safety and cost pressures. The risks of high-altitude work and rising labor costs make cleaning expenses a significant portion of a power plant’s lifecycle O&M costs. Finally, the complexity of application scenarios. Sites like commercial and industrial rooftops and BIPV facades feature diverse tilt angles and irregular layouts, placing high demands on the adaptability and intelligence of cleaning equipment.
The industry consensus is clear: only technology-driven, intelligent O&M is the key to breaking through these challenges. At the national policy level, digital and intelligent technologies have been explicitly identified as core means to promote the high-quality development of renewable energy. In the market, from Guangtou Group’s application of AI robots to achieve a 300% efficiency improvement, to grid companies introducing cleaning robots for tailored “one enterprise, one strategy” services, smart O&M practices are flourishing everywhere. Industry leaders like Huawei predict that by 2025, over 80% of the work in PV power plants will be unmanned. Intelligence has evolved from an option to an essential pathway for improving industrial quality and efficiency.
Innovation: Multifit Solar’s Full-Scenario Intelligent Solutions
Based on deep insights into industry pain points, Multifit Solar has leveraged its portfolio of over 80 independent intellectual properties and patents to build a comprehensive product matrix and management system for intelligent cleaning robots that covers all distributed PV scenarios, aiming to completely free maintenance personnel from repetitive and dangerous high-altitude work.
Precise Matching, Full-Scenario Coverage: For flat or low-tilt scenarios like commercial and industrial rooftops, Multifit Solar’s Rail-mounted Fully Automatic Cleaning Vehicle and Semi-automatic PV Cleaning Brush enable efficient, low-cost daily maintenance. For complex arrays with uneven rooftops, obstacles, or slopes, the Third-Generation Four-Wheel-Drive Cleaning Robot and Tracked Up/Down Cleaning Robot, with their excellent obstacle-crossing and climbing capabilities, can handle the task with ease. This “tailored” product strategy ensures wide adaptability, from large commercial and industrial rooftops to residential distributed power stations.
Technological Breakthroughs, Solving Core Pain Points: The competition among new-generation intelligent equipment is no longer just about speed but a comprehensive contest of cleaning quality, safety, and long-term reliability. Multifit Solar’s products integrate core safety features such as anti-slip and automatic obstacle avoidance, automatic deviation correction to prevent misalignment, and anti-jamming design, eliminating risks of equipment falls and failures at the source. Through optimized cleaning mechanisms and path algorithms, they effectively avoid potential issues like panel surface scratches and secondary water contamination caused by traditional cleaning, ensuring that every cleaning session translates directly into real gains in power generation efficiency.
Smart Cloud Platform, Reshaping O&M Models: Device intelligence is just the first step. The Intelligent Management Cloud Platform independently developed by Multifit Solar upgrades the O&M model for distributed power stations from “reactive response” to “proactive management.” The platform enables remote intelligent control, task dispatch, status monitoring, and cluster scheduling of robots. Its unique automatic detection and tracking positioning functions allow O&M personnel to oversee the entire operation from a remote location. This signifies that Multifit Solar’s service has evolved from providing single devices to offering an integrated solution of “smart hardware + management software + data services.”
Value: A Paradigm Shift from Cost Center to Profit Engine
Adopting Multifit Solar’s intelligent O&M solutions represents a fundamental shift for plant owners, transforming the role of O&M from a “cost center” to a “profit engine.”
The most direct benefit is a significant increase in power generation. Regular, high-quality intelligent cleaning effectively eliminates hot spots and power losses caused by dust and dirt coverage, improving the power generation efficiency of PV panels by 8% to 30%, a figure that closely aligns with data validated by top industry practices.
The deeper value lies in the optimization of the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) over the plant’s lifecycle. Intelligent robots free personnel from high-risk environments, significantly reducing safety risks and insurance costs. Their efficient operation reduces downtime for cleaning, increasing effective power generation hours. Furthermore, the digitization and standardization of O&M make power plant assets more transparent and easier to manage, laying a solid foundation for future asset transactions and financial value-added activities.
Outlook: Partnering with the Industry for a Green, Intelligent Future
“Sunshine for you, Multifit to all” is not only the mission of Multifit Solar but also the blueprint for its actions. Looking ahead, the company will continue to increase R&D investment, deepen the integration of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data in energy management, and work with industry partners to jointly promote the construction of an open and innovative smart O&M ecosystem.
On the grand journey towards the “Dual Carbon” goals, the efficient production of every kilowatt-hour of green electricity is crucial. Multifit Solar firmly believes that by empowering technology to enable every PV power plant, especially distributed stations integrated into the urban fabric, to achieve safe, efficient, and autonomous “intelligent operation,” this will be the company’s most solid and powerful contribution to the era of clean energy.
