| Description: | Video of the GEKKO III Junior cleaning robot walking on a steep solar plant and cleans it with water and its brush. The surface gets very clean and increases the efficiency of a solar plant immensely. The robot is designed to climb around on even vertical surfaces and won’t need any additional complicated installations. This allows for a lot of versatility and easy use. The GEKKO robot is a product of the Serbot AG in Switzerland in cooperation Niederberger-Engineering AG. |
