Swish Solar is a cleantech startup incubated at the University of Waterloo’s Velocity program that tackles solar panel soiling with a two-part solution. Its self-cleaning nanotech film passively removes sand and snow without water or moving parts, while the companion SwishOS platform uses AI to monitor soiling and predict optimal cleaning schedules. The company says panels can lose up to 60 % efficiency due to debris, and its technology can deliver up to a 20× return on investment by recovering lost output and reducing maintenance spend. Swish Solar has already secured customers across North America and the Middle East, including pilot deployments with major operators such as Renko Energy, which plans to apply the system at 12 sites. The fresh capital will fund product manufacturing, further AI model development, and expansion of engineering and business-development teams as the startup scales toward full commercialization. Ultimately, the team seeks to make solar assets truly self-sustaining, increasing energy yield and enabling smarter, data-driven operations.
