The sun is shining on a new kind of builder: Gritt's robotic systems are set to revolutionise solar panel installation. With their hefty $34 million funding and impressive productivity gains, these intelligent machines promise to accelerate the global solar energy build-out.

However, they're not just about efficiency; Gritt’s founders believe that AI can help manage construction sites more intelligently too. From blocking rain damage to tracking inventory, every move is monitored—perhaps even micromanaged—in the name of progress.

Their success could transform the construction industry, but at what cost? While Gritt aims to make dangerous jobs safer and easier, some fear it's a case of technology replacing human labour. Will this lead to a future where only tech-savvy individuals control the sun’s energy?

Gritt faces competition from other firms like Luminous Robotics and Trinabot, each with their own hardware innovations. As demand for renewable energy skyrockets, who will come out on top? Gritt's vision is clear: a future where machines not only build but also make decisions.
