Chemitek Expands Drone Cleaning Solutions for Hard-to-Reach Surfaces

October 28, 2025 by Miriam McNabb 1 Comment

New product line supports growing drone spray systems for solar, glass, and industrial cleaning

Cleaning tall buildings and massive solar farms has always been hard. Workers have had to climb, spray, and scrub while carrying equipment. Drone technology is changing how companies approach cleaning tasks. Chemitek now offers cleaning products made to work with drone spray systems that help reduce risk, save time, and lower water use.

The company has announced an expansion of the Drone Range, a group of sustainable cleaners built for use on difficult surfaces. According to Chemitek, the products are “high performance” and “environmentally safe.” These cleaning agents focus on surfaces that are hard to reach or unsafe for workers to access.

Chemitek is based in Portugal. The company already sells cleaning solutions across the solar and industrial sectors.

A Full Line of Cleaners for Drone Use

Chemitek started the Drone Range earlier this year with two products for solar and glass. The new expansion adds five more options that can support a wide set of industries.

The full lineup includes:

• Drone Solar Cleaning Agent. Touchless cleaning for solar panels and CSP mirrors. It removes dust, bird droppings, grease, oil, soot, and other organic residues.
• Drone Glass Cleaning Agent. A streak free cleaner for glass façades and architectural glazing. It is optimized for drone spraying systems.
• Drone Surface Cleaning Agent Organic. A heavy duty biodegradable cleaner and degreaser for organic pollution on metal, concrete, stone, roofs, and plastics.
• Drone Surface Cleaning Agent Inorganic. A cleaner and descaler for mineral deposits, rust, cement dust, hard water stains, and other inorganic residues.
• Drone Wind Turbine Cleaning Agent. A specialized cleaner for turbine blades and towers. It removes grease, oil, dust, and insect residues.
• Drone Stain Breaker. A spray and leave pH neutral solution for removing green and black biological stains while helping to stop regrowth.
• Drone Spray on Hydrophobic Coating. A coating that protects porous materials, improves thermal efficiency, and reduces future maintenance needs.

Chemitek says all products work with drones and other spraying systems. This allows cleaning teams to keep workers on the ground. Less water use can also reduce cost while helping the environment.

Meeting the Growth in Drone Cleaning

Industries continue to discover how drones can support everyday maintenance. Cleaning rooftops, solar fields, or high rise glass can be one of the most dangerous jobs in facility care. Drones can spray cleaning materials on surfaces that may be too steep or too tall for workers to access safely.

The company says the goal is to give cleaning teams more tools as customers push for lower operational risk and more sustainable practices.

“This expansion marks an important step in the evolution of professional drone cleaning.” said César Martins, CEO of Chemitek. “With the drone cleaning equipment and technology maturing rapidly, we are now providing the piece of the puzzle that was missing: a full range of safe, efficient, and sustainable cleaning products.”

The Drone Range is now available around the world through Chemitek’s distributor network.
