Gritt develops AI-powered solar panel-installing robots that can speed up solar plant construction. Rather than building its own robots from scratch, the startup uses rented skidders and robotic arms built by companies like Kawasaki, but they are controlled by Gritt's AI models. The first job the robots handle is unloading large, glass solar panels, carrying them toward the metal frames where they need to be installed, and positioning them on the frames with sub-millimeter accuracy so workers can fasten them. Thus a typical eight-person crew can install 5 times more panels each day. The company has contracts to install gigawatts of solar panels and its customers include three of the top 10 U.S. power construction companies.
