Multi-axis robotic arms equipped with specialized end effectors use vacuum technology and precise force control to manipulate delicate solar cells.Can a robotic arm move around a solar site?But the idea of a factory-style robotic arm moving around a solar site brought them to ULC and its Robotic Roadworks and Excavation System. After a year-and-a-half of development, the two companies now have a solar installation robot up and running, and it’s been deployed on Rosendin solar projects across the country.
Are solar panel installation robots reducing labor costs?Photo courtesy Rosendin Electric Newly developed solar panel installation robots are drastically reducing labor costs and human toil associated with building solar photovoltaic farms, as Rosendin Electric’s partnership with robotics firm ULC Technologies has found after a year of successful trials on real solar jobsites.
How does a solar installation robot work?The installation robot works with carrier robots that keep it supplied with solar panels to place as it moves down a row. But it’s not just about improving efficiency. “As we started getting into it, we did the time motion studies and got a four-person crew down to a two-person crew, and the safety aspects of it were huge,” says Lincoln.
How does a solar panel picker robot work?The autonomous robot can pick up and place solar panels using a vacuum suction attachment. Its electric motors are powered by batteries, which are recharged by an onboard diesel generator. Two other robots serve as panel carriers, working in tandem to ensure there is always a fresh stack of panels for the picker robot to grab one.
How does a panel carrier robot work?Now, the carrier robots can be loaded from the end of the row and bring the panels down as they are installed. Each panel carrier robot can carry 30 to 35 panels at a time. The robots operate autonomously and work together as a team but wait for confirmation by human operators that a panel has been mounted before advancing.
How does a robot lift a panel?A robot with an arm capable of six degrees of movement uses a vacuum-based suction cup attachment to lift a panel from a stack into place on the mount rack. Then, human operators can confirm the panel is positioned properly and drive screws to secure it in pla
