Overview
SolarBrush (now Aerial Power, rebranded to Aerial Agency / AIr™) is a London-based robotics company developing drone-based cleaning technology for solar panels. Founded by German engineer Ridha Azaiz — who conceived the concept at age 13 — the company's flagship SolarBrush product attaches a brush to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to remove dust and soiling from photovoltaic panels in arid regions, restoring energy-generation efficiency without water. The technology has since evolved into a patented, drone-agnostic airflow cleaning method (AIr™) that uses rotor downwash for waterless, non-contact surface maintenance.
Clean safety record across 2 verified deployments. Funding runway warrants monitoring: last known round 143 months ago.
