Blizzard Solar is an international firm specializing in the development of autonomous cleaning technologies for the solar farm (utility scale solar projects) and residential solar industry.  ​  The goal of each Blizzard Solar technology is to maximize the efficiency of solar power output in all weather conditions, and further eliminate the need for costly cleaning methods currently being used in the industry today.     While Blizzard Solar does not manufacture its technologies, we are looking to sell the innovations/IP to solar panel manufacturers and/or component suppliers who are interested in gaining a competitive advantage in the solar industry.

Autonomous Winter Solar Panel

AWSP is an autonomous system which removes winter precipitation from photo-voltaic panels, allowing them to operate efficiently in all conditions where frozen precipitation may accumulate. The technology ensures maximum photo-voltaic efficiency in areas snow and ice would normally reduce or negate solar energy output.  Snow and ice have traditionally limited photo-voltaic output in utility scale solar projects. The industry has been slow to penetrate these markets where there is a preponderance of greater winter conditions. The AWSP is unique in its ability to maximize efficiency for existing solar farms located in winter environments, producing 100% PV output year-round there by gaining a leg up on competitors. Further, the AWSP can open up new markets for solar panel manufacturers and component suppliers as it addresses the traditional limitations associated with winter precipitation accumulation.  The system is equipped with components that autonomously detect and remove winter precipitation such as snow, frost, ice and sleet to ensure 100% panel efficacy in all operating conditions. The system uses grid power and/or power from its own self-contained battery compartment in areas without grid access.  The AWSP frozen precipitation removal process is completed without making contact with the panel itself, thus addressing insurance concerns and the potential of voiding warranties. In addition, the procedure is very efficient, ensures minimal heat/energy loss and addresses the traditional limitations associated with reversion-based panel heating methods.  This state-of-the-art technology is compatible with both framed and frame-less panels.

Solar Panel Autonomous Cleaner

SPAC is an autonomous solar panel cleaning system that operates in all conventional warm weather environments. The technology implements an internationally patented sensory technology that allows it to detect precipitation intensity and offer a customized cleaning response. The system is designed to detect and remove dust, dirt, bird droppings and any other caked on debris. This process uses very little power and implements water provided from precipitation or user supplied water sources. By keeping solar panels clean, the system ensures 100% operating efficiency at all times.  Consider two points: By the year 2020, there will be 4 million homes in the United States with solar panel installations. Further, by the same year, all new construction homes in California will be mandated to include solar panel installations as well. This trend for residential solar panel proliferation is massive and as there will be growing demand for autonomous solar panel cleaning systems. The potential for Blizzard Solar’s technology is significant.  There is a whole service industry dedicated to cleaning residential solar panels. Blizzard Solar’s SPAC technology will enable a current player in the service industry, an entrepreneur looking to invest in the renewable energy space, a panel manufacturer, or a component supplier to corner the residential panel cleaning market. The SPAC technology would allow a firm to be in a unique position to offer an automated and complete panel cleaning solution to its customers, saving them significantly on the cost of ongoing manual cleaning services.  As a result of both energy gained and the elimination of costly cleaning expenses, another benefit is that this system pays for itself very quickly thereby allowing for a high rate of return on investment in a short period of time. This is a very convincing proposition to consumers and can be very profitable to the manufacturer/supplier.  This technology also offers the manufacturer and component suppliers an opportunity for potential future sales of photo-voltaic modules, while providing value added service and replacement components.  The SPAC is easy to install, hooks into the panels own output and uses a minimal amount of energy. The flexibility of the technology allows its manufacturing to accommodate any panel size, the ability to be sold as an after-market product, as well as be incorporated into solar panel production as a value added product.
