AES developed Maximo, a solar construction robotics service, leveraging AI vision, industrial robotics, and a mobile microgrid system. Maximo, first introduced in 2024, autonomously installs solar panels, with a fleet of four robots currently assembling 1 megawatt per day . Maximo is a true partner to solar construction crews, using artificial intelligence to automate the heavy lifting of solar panels and accelerate solar installation. Automated: A high-speed robotic arm performs the precise panel installation. Our long-term partnership with AES, a leader in renewable energy, began with a clear challenge: addressing labor shortages and high costs in the solar industry. Source: AES As electricity demand grows, robot fleets must rapidly scale to help meet that need.
