Burns & McDonnell and Gritt have entered into a strategic partnership focused on evaluating and deploying AI-powered robotics technology on utility-scale solar projects. The technology will help improve safety, enhance project predictability and support construction teams as demand for new energy infrastructure continues to grow. Gritt combines AI and robotics to automate labor-intensive tasks on […]

It’s not just about the installation of more solar panels for the next generation of renewable energy. It has to do with the utilization of every single square meter of PV surface in an even better way, and with the use of a combination of new PV technologies and smarter installation methods, energy storage solutions, […]

Solar panel cleaning robots are often judged by how much dust they can remove in one pass. That matters, but it is not the whole engineering question. The brush roller is the component that repeatedly meets the module surface, so its design has to balance cleaning action with controlled contact, serviceability, and the cleaning limits […]

While much of the current discussion around physical AI focuses on technologies still moving from prototype to commercial deployment, AES has already put robots to work on utility-scale solar construction sites. The global energy company developed Maximo, an AI-powered robotic system designed to automate one of the most physically demanding stages of solar construction: lifting […]
