AI -powered robot solar panels install faster than any humans

Lemomos Robotics, along with the headquarters in Massachusetts, is having a huge impact on the solar industry at a distance of half the world in the city of Belina, 130 miles northeast of Melbourne in Australia’s Melbourne. At the same place, its robotic solar panel installation machines are helping to build 250 MW solar energy facilities in record time. When completely complete in 2026, the Gormbut East Solar Farm will include about 600,000 solar panels, most of them have been installed by the Lumi 4 robots.

LinkedIn in a post on them, the founder and CEO of Bright Robotics wrote, written,

“The Bright S4 Flat Gormbut is on the East Solar Farm, which is the 319 MWDC (250 MWAC) site, which is one of the largest planet -largest construction companies, Boygus Construction… .. for one of the largest energy companies in the world, NG, Australia’s global and global energy.

“Our team has drawn the most aggressive logistics + manufacturing + field deployment timeline till date. The result: Lumi is exceeding the target production rate, which is 103 % – with key data and flow insights by 246 %.

“He made a team of shoes on the Boston Headquarters, our newly established AU Division, and ground operators on half -way around the world, at the pace of extraordinary implementation, which was made only by the leaders who made their shoes really impressive to provide their shoes on the soil.

“Fuel in collaboration with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (Arena), we are looking to accelerate our next stage where we improve the capabilities of the Lumi fleet.

Here is a video of Lumi 4 robots in the operation. [It is best watched with the rather annoying sound track muted.]

Robot low solar installation costs

A report Times of stability It claims that by reducing construction time and labor costs, these machines can make solar projects financially viable. “This can increase the number of solar farms, which can contribute to more sustainable energy grid. In addition, environmental benefits are important. With the rapid deployment of solar panels, robots can faster from fossil fuel, reduce carbon emissions and reduce global climate.”

Justin Web is a project manager for AGA in Australia. According to the web, “this system was used to install pilings and the solar panel recently, in which the American company first tested its luminous system outside the United States and demonstrated the future of the construction of the solar farm.” Interesting engineering.

“The high production capacity of these independent systems will reduce the cost of renewable energy projects and enable the projects to be constructed in a short time – which will reduce energy costs for consumers and potentially allow construction of more solar farms.”

The Web added that the robot also requires skilled technicians to drive them, which in turn promotes the current renewable energy workforce and enables further production capacity. “The use of an independent robot can also have great benefits for the construction of solar farms in remote and unhealthy areas, such as desert, where climate can be dangerous to human staff.”

Open source database

Bright Robotics and Irina will soon issue a comprehensive robotics dataset to the public, which they hope will encourage further innovation and cooperation. By providing this figure, they aim to democratic solar technology and enable more communities to take advantage of it. This view of open source can accelerate progress in robotic capabilities and pave the way for more efficient solar installations in the future.

There is always concern when the word “robot” is introduced in a conversation that a person will be displaced, which has led to the same way in the Disney film Wall e. But the Gurmbat East maker says the use of these robots has new opportunities for human workers.

The integration of robotics in the construction of the solar farm is not only about performance but also about promoting skilled workforce. Justin Web said the Lumi robot needs skilled technicians, which creates new job opportunities in the renewable energy sector. Robots can be beneficial in remote and hard areas, where working conditions can be difficult, he said. The other parts of the Morocco and Mina area come to mind where robots can play an important role.

“In the long -term, with continuous growth, such robots will also be able to reduce health and safety risks from construction projects, for example, reduce the manual handling of heavy solar panels,” said Justin Web.

Jumping robots are also in Australia

Lumi 4 is not the only robot to install a solar panel in Australia. China – is not surprising – its large -scale solar installations are also using robots. Earlier this year, China’s jump robot began to apply solar panels in New South Wales. In February, my colleague, Drake Markham wrote:

“By making solar farm construction faster, safe and more efficient, the jump robot can help accelerate global transfer to renewable energy. With the industry emphasizing low costs and increasing solar energy deployment, automation can be the only lost piece of solar energy.

“In addition to the module mounting robots, the jump also offers other PV -based automatic products, such as a module cleansing robot and a module inspection robot, which can be integrated into large solar farms to increase performance and low labor costs.”
