Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for installing and/or cleaning photovoltaic modules on a substructure. The device comprises a chassis (6) with suction cups (10) rotating in the plane of travel and invariably facing the plane of travel, and a base support (1) which is associated with a working arm (13) that can be displaced along the base support (1), the previously installed modules serving as the plane of travel.
