Solarud was born from a practical observation on solar farms: water pooling and soiling bands were silently reducing energy production and increasing maintenance. Our founders developed the first adaptable water drain clip for solar panels, aiming to solve a problem faced by every solar installation, regardless of size or location.
The soiling band problem affects energy production and increases the need of cleaning. The solution is a drainer clip created to install at the bottom of photovoltaic panels to drain the water and dust accumulated. You can see how effective the Solarud is in our performance tests.
Our products are designed in Europe with precision engineering to guarantee durability and consistent results.
Field-tested worldwide, Solarud solutions help improve, in average, 3% of energy production between cleaning cycles, reducing operational costs.
Adaptable to most panel structures without complex installation or additional tools.
By reducing water waste and maintenance frequency, Solarud contributes to a cleaner and more efficient solar energy ecosystem.
From the first prototypes to our current line of products, with more than 500.000 units sold, Solarud has evolved alongside the solar industry's needs. Each solution is designed with feedback from installers, asset owners, cleaners and field experts to ensure maximum impact and long-term performance.
Our mission is to provide simple and effective solutions that help reduce water accumulation, minimize dirt bands, and support better long-term PV performance. We believe small engineering improvements can make solar energy more efficient and more profitable.
Solarud has been built with a team of engineers who dedicate their professional lives to increasing the quality of solar plants. Through knowledge acquired in the best universities in Portugal, we have had a common goal: to make a positive impact on the energy sector, and that is what allowed us to identify a problem (soiling band near the solar panel frame) and overcome it with an effective, practical and reusable solution - Solarud water drain clip.
