A mechanical arm, guided by cameras, for mounting solar panels faster. Robots are being built in Germany that could help reduce costs and time
Robots are being built in Germany that could help reduce solar panel installation costs and time. The project is currently being developed by two companies, PV Kraftwerker and Gehrlicher, and permits faster and cheaper installations, making it possible to also work in non-optimal weather conditions or at night.
The project provides for the construction of robots capable of working automatically in installing solar power systems on the ground: the initial expense could be recouped in less than one year of steady use.
How does it work? The robot is built with Japanese components and comprises a mechanical arm with suction cups at the end. It can lift and position the solar panels, guided by a series of video cameras that provide a sort of “three-dimensional view”. The machinery is mounted on a track vehicle capable of operating on any typ
