Repetitive work, remote locations and grueling, hot working conditions all make large-scale photovoltaic solar power installations attractive candidates for greater automation. Automation comes in many forms, and there was some novelty in the last few decades at attempts to fully automate construction processes in small pilot projects. A standard published by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers in 2025 laid out five levels of automation in construction equipment. This is seen clearly in the human-assisted robots handling some of the most tedious and onerous tasks in solar construction, from pile-driving to panel placement. Automated solar panel placement robot from Cosmic Robotics takes care of one of the more physically demanding tasks in solar construction.
