AI and Robotics: The New Frontier for Solar Deployment & Operations

Описание: Nextracker is launching a bold new chapter in utility-scale solar—powered by AI, robotics, and real-time field intelligence. Our latest technology suite delivers smart automation from the air and the ground, redefining how projects are built, commissioned, and managed over decades. Our SenseHawk IP enables fast, accurate site mapping by generating high-resolution 3D digital twins from drone imagery—accelerating commissioning and ensuring seamless integration with energy yield optimization tools like TrueCapture®.

Meanwhile, our autonomous ground robots handle inspection and diagnostics with unmatched precision, delivering visual, infrared, and geolocated data for every module, connector, and tracker component. With integrated fire and smoke detection, operators gain early warning of thermal risks—enabling faster, safer response in the field.

For EPCs, this directly addresses rising labor costs, skill shortages, safety concerns, and the need for detailed QA/QC reporting. Robots eliminate manual barcode scanning, boost commissioning speed and accuracy, and reduce exposure to high-heat environments—all while capturing data you can use, not just store.

For owners and operators, long-term value hinges on uptime, yield, and risk mitigation across a 30–40 year asset lifecycle. Our solutions detect hot spots, connector failures, vegetation, soiling, and hidden DC losses before they escalate. This means fewer surprises, lower O&M costs, and smarter warranty and insurance claims—with inspection data that’s GPS-tagged, time-stamped, and ready for audit.

This isn’t just innovation—it’s infrastructure that learns, acts, and delivers real returns from Day 1 through Year 40.
