Overview
Charge Robotics builds robotic systems that automate solar installation work to remove labor bottlenecks in construction. Their robots handle tasks in the field to speed up the process of deploying solar projects, allowing construction teams to install more systems in less time. This focus on automation of on-site installation differentiates Charge Robotics from competitors that only provide components or software rather than end-to-end robotic labor solutions. The company’s goal is to help the world switch to renewable energy faster by making solar installation scalable and more efficient.
