The new Maximo AI-enabled robot is designed to slice half the cost and half the time from solar farm construction.
As if fossil energy stakeholders didn’t have enough on their hands these days, along comes the leading energy firm AES with a scheme to send armies of robots named “Maximo” out to build solar farms all over the countryside. Maximo is expected to perform faster and more efficiently than its human counterparts, as robots usually do, leading to lower costs for solar power.To be clear, Maximo does not resemble an actual person, and it can’t work independently, like an actual person.
“It accelerates project timelines, creates new high-tech jobs and brings opportunities to new segments of the workforce,” AES elaborates. “Maximo expands job opportunities in solar installation, while providing individuals the experience to develop AI skills and learn emerging technologies.”AES has already put Maximo through its paces.
“In response to this exponential growth, we are scaling Maximo, deploying fleets of continually improving robots to empower our teams for faster and more competitive installations,” Shelton said in a press statement on July 30.AES’ enthusiasm for more and bigger solar farms is a stark contrast with solar industry observers who are concerned about the
