Solar construction robotics

market profile

  • text: Utility-scale solar construction requires large crews to assemble and install repetitive arrays, often in remote locations.
  • text: Charge has piloted its portable factory with solar EPC SOLV Energy, illustrating a partnership-led route into projects.

personas

  • title: VP of construction at a solar EPC
    pains:
    • Finding enough mechanical installation labor across remote projects
    • Maintaining schedule and consistent throughput across large solar builds
  • title: Solar project manager
    pains:
    • Coordinating material preparation and installation across work crews
    • Documenting quality and handoff while managing site conditions
  • title: Construction safety director
    pains:
    • Reducing repeated lifting and exposure to injuries on solar sites

icp

  • text: Engineering, procurement and construction contractors building utility-scale ground-mount solar projects.
  • text: Project portfolios with repeatable utility-scale module formats and enough site space for an on-site factory.

message pillars

  • text: A turnkey factory and crew deliver mechanical completion on site.
  • text: Automate repetitive mechanical installation to reduce labor requirements.
  • text: Create a traceable quality record for each fastening operation.

objections

  • objection: Will the system fit our project and tracker design?
    response: Validate module format, bay configuration, site footprint and operating conditions in a project-specific assessment.
  • objection: Who supplies operators and handles the rest of construction?
    response: Charge supplies a trained crew for its factory; the EPC retains civil and electrical work.
  • objection: Can the economics beat our existing crews?
    response: Compare a pilot's all-in cost, throughput and schedule impact with the existing mechanical-install baseline; public pricing is unavailable.
