Overview

A 20 L airborne-tank system for solar arrays — 60 m² per flight, six flights per hour.

Facade models (QY-QX-420, QY-X4-40) are tethered to a ground high-pressure washer through a braided hose, allowing continuous cleaning at heights of up to 120 m without scaffolding or gondolas.

Photovoltaic models (CD20, CD50) carry an onboard water tank and spray system for solar arrays, with RTK positioning and radar for stable, repeatable passes.

Key features

  • Aluminum-alloy truss that resists vibration, deformation and cracking
  • High-pressure pump 7,500 W, 2.5–25 MPa, with 45° swinging spray gun
  • Dual-antenna network RTK for stable hovering over panel rows
  • Front and rear radar for obstacle avoidance on site
  • 15-minute fast charging to keep six flights per hour
