UMTechVis is an innovative startup committed to advancing technology and commercialization of homegrown solutions developed at Universiti Malaya. Our mission is to bring impactful, research-driven products to the market, addressing real-world challenges with cutting-edge solutions. Our recent breakthrough is an "Automated Solar Panel Cleaning System", designed to revolutionize solar panel cleaning. Traditional cleaning methods often require significant labor and can lead to inconsistent results. Our automated system, however, operates without any human intervention, ensuring solar panels remain free of dust and debris to achieve optimal power output consistently. This innovation not only enhances the efficiency of solar panels but also helps our customers reduce their electricity bills, leading to increased satisfaction and long-term savings. At UMTechVis, we are dedicated to sustainable solutions that support cleaner energy. By harnessing advanced sensor technology and a fully automated approach, our solar cleaning system stands as a testament to our commitment to sustainable progress.
