The Heliostat Field Auto-cleaning System, which is developed by Cosin Solar, is able to carry out periodical cleaning during operation of the plant. The system automatically monitors the cleaning process, and can adopt manned or unmanned driving mode, water-scrubbing or dry-scrubbing scheme to tackle extremely low temperature and sandy condition.
In 2020, the heliostat cleaning vehicle independently designed and developed by Cosin Solar won the SolarPACES 2020 Technology Innovation Award, becoming the first enterprise in Asia winning this Award for its completely independent design and R&D of CSP technology.
