How much does the Sherpa Cleaning Drone cost?

The Sherpa Cleaning Bundle starts at $45,750 for outright purchase. The Lucid Refresh subscription program starts at $2,500/month with regular hardware upgrades and support included. Financing options available.

What can the Sherpa Drone clean?

The Sherpa drone cleans windows, building facades, solar panels, roofs, stucco, concrete, brick, water towers, and more. Window cleaning is the number one application, followed by facade and exterior cleaning.

Do I need a license to fly the Sherpa Drone?

Yes, commercial drone operations require an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Lucid Bots provides operator training and Part 107 certification support as part of onboarding.

How does drone cleaning compare to scaffolding?

Drone cleaning eliminates scaffolding, boom lifts, and rope access entirely. It is 3-5x faster for most facade applications and requires a single operator instead of a multi-person crew. No worker-at-height risk.

What is included in the Sherpa Cleaning Bundle?

The Sherpa Cleaning Bundle ($45,750) includes the Sherpa drone, cleaning tool, batteries, charger, Lucid Command fleet management software, Sherpa Academy online training, and Part 107 test prep. The Window Cleaning Bundle ($57,250) adds the window washing payload. Additional accessories include the Power Tether for unlimited flight time, Essential Accessory Kit, Protection Plans, and in-person HQ training.

It supports three cleaning methods: soft washing for delicate surfaces like EIFS and stucco, pressure washing for concrete and brick, and window cleaning via an optional squeegee payload attachment. The Sherpa Drone is operated by a single pilot with one ground crew member, replacing traditional methods that require four to six person crews with scaffolding, boom lifts, or rope access systems. As of February 2026, more than 400 operators use the Sherpa Drone across more than 40 U.S. states. Most operators report achieving return on investment within six months. The Sherpa Drone requires FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certification for commercial operation.
