Dry months and dust
North Gujarat gets most of its rain in the monsoon. Before and after it, dust from fields, roads and construction settles on roofs with nothing to rinse it off.

Waterless solar panel cleaning in Mehsana
North Gujarat’s car and two-wheeler belt is lined with vast assembly and component plants. Keep their rooftop solar clean without drawing on a groundwater table that keeps falling.
Industrial Mehsana
Car country, with a falling water table
The Mandal–Becharaji Special Investment Region spans more than 100 sq km across Ahmedabad, Mehsana and Surendranagar districts. Maruti Suzuki, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India and Suzuki Motorcycle build vehicles here, supported by hundreds of component makers.
Around them, Kadi and Chhatral host fabrics, fasteners, steel, ceramics and engineering units, and the district is also a centre for dairy and oil and gas. Large assembly halls and warehouses are prime sites for rooftop solar.
North Gujarat’s groundwater has been falling for more than a decade, with salinity and high fluoride in many wells. Water is too precious here to spend on washing glass.

Local conditions
Why panels lose output in Mehsana
Huge flat roofs
Vehicle and component plants have very large, continuous arrays. Cleaning them by hand takes a crew days, so they are often cleaned less than they need.
Falling groundwater
With the water table dropping and many wells saline, washing thousands of panels with water is costly and wasteful.
Which cleaner fits your roof
Two ways to clean Mehsana rooftops without water
Solar Glide for long rows
Large factory sheds and warehouses with long, continuous panel rows suit Solar Glide. The robot travels along the row with a dry rotating brush, charges itself from its own solar panel and runs on a schedule, so nobody has to walk the roof.
Aqualess for broken rows
Roofs with several smaller arrays, skylights, vents or mixed orientations suit Aqualess Industrial: a 600 mm motorised brush on a 3.3 m rod that one person guides from a safe position.
Zero water, zero chemicals
Both clean dry. With North Gujarat’s groundwater falling year after year, that matters.
We come to Mehsana
Our team travels from Vadodara (~190 km) to survey your roof, demonstrate the cleaner on your own panels and set it up. Support continues after handover.

FAQ
Solar panel cleaning in Mehsana
Do you supply solar cleaning robots in the Becharaji auto belt?
Yes. We supply Solar Glide robots and Aqualess waterless cleaners to plants and suppliers across the Mandal–Becharaji SIR, Kadi, Chhatral and Mehsana, and we visit for a roof survey, demo, setup and support.
Can one robot clean a very large plant roof?
Solar Glide works along each continuous row. For large plants we size the number of robots to your rows and the cleaning frequency you want, after a roof survey.
How far is your team from Mehsana?
We are based in Makarpura GIDC, Vadodara, about 190 km away by road. We travel across Gujarat for roof surveys, demos, setup and support. Call or message us to book a visit.
How much water would we save?
A wet clean typically uses 3–5 litres per panel each time, according to CEEW. On a large plant roof that adds up fast. Our savings calculator shows the yearly figure.
