What SunBrush Mobil does

SunBrush mobil GmbH is a German manufacturer of mobile photovoltaic (PV) panel cleaning equipment, headquartered in Lachen, Germany, with three Managing Directors (Franz Ehleuter, Maximilian Happ, and Daniel Moser). The company designs, manufactures, and tests hydraulic cleaning brush systems that mount on standard construction vehicles — including tractors, excavators, and telescopic loaders — enabling automated cleaning of both ground-mounted solar parks and rooftop PV installations. Its product portfolio comprises six core cleaning systems (TrackFlex, Compact, Rapid, Crane, Eagle, and sunbotics) plus the WallCleaner for building facades and a range of accessories including cleaning agents, diagnostic systems, hot water modules, and tank solutions. The core technology is the patented WashTronic system, which automatically maintains constant brush contact pressure on PV module surfaces regardless of ground unevenness, validated by the Steinbeis Transfer Center at TH Ulm through 1,000+ dry cleaning cycles without module damage.

The company distributes exclusively through a global network of certified channel partners and wholly-owned subsidiaries in over 60 countries, with affiliated entities in the USA, Australia, Japan, Brazil, and Turkey, and exclusive distributors across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Pricing is quote-based with standard payment terms of 50% deposit at order and 50% before delivery ex works Lachen. SunBrush reports reference customers including major utility-scale solar developers and O&M providers such as Enel Green Power, BayWa r.e., Sterling & Wilson (ACWA Power), Scatec, Colbun, and ib vogt, alongside regional cleaning service companies. The company received the BSFZ-Siegel for research and development in 2026, and claims cleaning systems that can prevent up to 30% energy yield losses from soiling.

The business model is a pure-play industrial hardware manufacturer with no disclosed subscription, recurring service, or software revenue streams. There is no evidence of external private equity or venture capital funding, no public revenue disclosure, and headcount in the 11-50 range consistent with a bootstrapped Mittelstand firm. Customer data from website inquiries is shared with the exclusive German sales partner PV Cleaning Systems GmbH, which shares the same Lachen address, suggesting closely integrated operations.

Core offering

SunBrush mobil designs, manufactures, and sells mobile hydraulic cleaning systems for photovoltaic (PV) solar modules. The systems mount on standard construction vehicles (tractors, mini-excavators, telescopic loaders) and use the patented WashTronic automatic level compensation to maintain constant brush contact pressure across uneven terrain. The portfolio covers ground-mounted solar parks, rooftop installations, desert conditions, and densely built module layouts, and is delivered worldwide through certified distributors with payment terms of 50% deposit on order and 50% before delivery.

Product overview

SunBrush Mobil is a manufacturer of mobile solar panel cleaning systems that offers a comprehensive portfolio of modular, vehicle-mounted cleaning solutions. The product line centers on six core products (TrackFlex, Compact, Rapid, Crane, Eagle, and sunbotics) designed for different cleaning scenarios including rooftop installations, solar parks, desert environments, and densely built areas. These products share common features: they mount on standard vehicles (tractors, excavators, telescopic loaders), use patented WashTronic technology for automatic level compensation, and are controlled via joystick. The ecosystem is complemented by the WallCleaner for facade cleaning and a range of accessories including cleaning agents, diagnostic systems, hot water options, and tank solutions.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Ecoppia: Israel-based developer of autonomous, water-free robotic cleaning systems for utility-scale solar PV. Direct competitor in the same mission of mitigating PV soiling losses for large solar operators, addressing the same customer set with a different technological approach (robotic vs. vehicle-mounted).
• Heliotex: US-based supplier of automated and waterless PV panel cleaning systems, including robotic and surface-mounted solutions. Competitor targeting the same utility-scale and commercial solar operators on yield-protection economics, with overlapping geographies (US, EMEA).
• SolarCleano: French designer and manufacturer of autonomous solar panel cleaning robots (e.g., A4, B1, D1 models). Direct competitor focused on the same utility-scale solar O&M customer, taking a robotics-first rather than vehicle-towed approach.
• Washpanel: German provider of modular PV cleaning brushes and component kits, including SunPower-compatible cleaning products. Adjacent peer in the same German Mittelstand equipment space, with comparable hydraulic/brush-based cleaning products for solar operators.

Broad incumbents

• Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG: Global leader in professional and consumer cleaning equipment. Although not a specialist in PV cleaning, Kärcher competes in adjacent industrial cleaning categories and could enter solar-specific equipment with the scale and dealer network to displace niche players like SunBrush.
• Nilfisk: Danish manufacturer of professional cleaning machines including pressure washers, scrubbers, and outdoor surface-cleaning equipment. Broad incumbent with channel overlap into industrial, facility, and increasingly solar-adjacent cleaning applications; relevant proxy for industry-adjacent competition and dealer-channel dynamics.
