Our Journey

Empowering Solar Since 2018

With over 8 years of specialized experience, Skilancer Solar designs, manufactures, and integrates waterless robotic cleaning solutions across India and international markets.

Our Mission

Automating Solar Efficiency

Founded by solar industry engineers, Skilancer Solar emerged to solve a critical operational loophole: solar panels in high-irradiation regions (like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and the Middle East) lose a massive share of their daily generation capacity due to fine dust soiling. Traditional manual washing is water-wasteful and highly cost-inefficient.

Our engineering team spent years testing and calibrating brushes, materials, and telemetry links in active desert environments. Today, we are proud to support over 1.5+ GW of solar capacity with fully automated, waterless robotic systems that recover generation yield by up to 15%–18% without using a drop of water.

Manufacturing Excellence

State-of-the-Art Factory

Skilancer Solar operates a dedicated manufacturing and R&D facility in the DLF Industrial Area of Faridabad, Haryana. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer, we perform strict quality check procedures on every single robot before site commissioning:

  • IP65 Dust & Water Testing: Testing enclosure seals against moisture, heavy rains, and desert dust winds.
  • Vibration & Torque Calibration: Calibrating crawler motors and helical gearboxes to withstand high continuous loads.
  • Battery Cycle Audits: Testing our integrated LiFePO4 cells to ensure sustained performance over thousands of clean charge-discharge cycles in 70°C temperatures.

Leadership & Vision

Neeraj Kumar

Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer | IIT Jodhpur Alumnus

Neeraj Kumar is an IIT Jodhpur alumnus and solar engineering leader with over a decade of hands-on experience across utility-scale solar arrays. Recognizing that severe soiling losses and water scarcity were crippling solar plant yields across India and global desert belts, Neeraj co-founded Skilancer Solar to revolutionize solar Operations & Maintenance (O&M).

Under Neeraj’s leadership, Skilancer Solar has manufactured and deployed close to 2,500+ waterless cleaning robots across 14+ states, secured key state government MoUs (such as with the Government of Andhra Pradesh), and raised VC backing from Venture Catalysts and Alfa Ventures. Neeraj also steers sister AI energy ventures Solset.ai and Solset.in.

Our Journey

Milestones That Shaped Skilancer

From an IIM-Lucknow incubated idea to one of India’s most deployed robotic cleaning companies.

2018

Founded in Faridabad

Skilancer Solar is founded by solar-industry engineers to solve soiling losses without water, and is incubated at IIM-Lucknow.

2019 – 2020

First Robots & Seed Funding

Waterless robots are field-proven in desert conditions; the company raises seed funding from Alfa Ventures and later Venture Catalysts to scale operations.

2021 – 2022

Nationwide Deployments

Installations expand across 14+ states with leading IPPs and EPCs, backed by an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing facility.

2023 – 2024

AI, SCADA & Rooftop Range

Launch of AI-enabled, SCADA-monitored robots and a dedicated waterless range for residential and commercial rooftop solar.

Today

1.5+ GW Optimized Daily

2,500+ robots installed, keeping 1.5+ GW of solar capacity clean while saving over 100 million litres of water.

Why Skilancer

What Sets Us Apart

A rare combination of in-house robotics manufacturing, EPC execution and long-term O&M under one roof.

In-House Manufacturing

Robots designed, built and quality-tested at our own ISO 9001:2015 facility — not rebadged imports — so quality and support stay in our control.

100% Waterless

Every solution is built around dry, PBT-bristle cleaning — ideal for water-scarce, high-soiling regions where wet washing is costly and unsustainable.

End-to-End Partner

From turnkey EPC to robotic cleaning to 24/7 O&M and AMC — a single accountable partner for the full lifecycle of your plant.
