Hey, Charge Robotics' work looks pretty interesting and the solar farm construction industry is ripe for automation. Out of curiosity, what were the deciding factors to start with automating material handling? Would automating pile dri

I agree module cleaning is not a showstopper, but it does have its challenges. -Birds fly everywhere; can't hide from them. It can be hard to diagnose some of the problems they create. "Robotic" cleaning is really not as comm

Want to know something else that is fun about the concentrated thermal projects? If the sun is not available for long periods of time and the fluid cools down too much they have to dump energy into it to prevent it from solidify to point o

Not necessarily obsolete, just uncompetitive. Many of the concentrated thermal systems can meet 30% efficiency but they usually are more of steel and plumbing projects than solar projects. On top of the high initial capital cost, they have

All PV cells have a temperature coefficient that reduces their productivity in heat. some preform better than others. Thin-film is notable example. Placing large PV farms in the desert is mainly about two things: High insolation value an
