Terafab It is a revolution in renewable energy. A robot that installs photovoltaic panels! Terabase energy is a pioneering solar technology company that has successfully completed the first commercial installation of solar panels with this automatic object. A before and after in the sector. Also called ‘construction automation platform’, it has installed 17 MW in the project White Wing Ranch of 225 MV of the province Yuma, Ariz.
Con Terafab It is no longer necessary to lift heavy steel pipes and photovoltaic panels by hand, representing an innovation that no company in this field had achieved until now. Terabase energy emphasizes that the robot is able to improve labor productivity by 25% compared to traditional installations. Likewise, it significantly improves the working conditions of solar energy technicians.
The precision of the platform makes it possible to completely return the solar panel packaging for reuse by the manufacturer. The success of Terafab It is not just limited to the automation of an activity, but to the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), a digital twin and data analysis. The management of solar structures in remote locations with difficult environmental conditions has also improved.
Terafab will generate new jobs
Contrary to what one might think, Terafab It does not threaten employment, but rather improves the conditions of solar workers. It provides an effective solution to the problem of labor shortage in the industry.
It is a historic project, carried out in collaboration with Sotavento Renewable energy (LRE) j EPC RES. “This milestone marks a pivotal moment in our mission to accelerate the deployment of solar power plants to meet the terawatt-scale demands of the future,” he explains. Matt CampbellCEO of Terabase energy.
Terafab, a historic project with great benefits
“Our collaboration with Downwind renewable energy j RES not only validated the effectiveness of the system Terafab, but has also laid the foundation for future projects. Furthermore, the system Terafab was implemented together with us software digital twin Construct to manage and supervise the construction of solar power plants, demonstrating the interoperability of our existing product offering with physical field applications,” he added.
“The benefits demonstrated by this project underscore the transformative potential of automation in advancing solar construction practices, helping us accelerate our project portfolio and reduce risk,” he said. Sam Mangrumexecutive vice president of project execution LRE. He added: “As the renewable energy landscape continues to evolve, LRE is committed to adopting cutting-edge technologies and working with innovators such as Terabase energy”.
Terafab Benefits
Terafab It provided better working conditions for employees (shade and cooling), permanently eliminated manual lifting of heavy steel pipes and solar panels (not published), improved productivity (25%) and made it possible to return 100% of packaging . the photovoltaic module.
Thanks to Terafab, the solar energy sector has a prosperous future
This project presented large-scale record statistics that serve as validation of the potential that digital technology and automation have. A huge advancement in the solar industry, leading to Terabase energyand its partners come first.
“White Wing Ranch shows that the technology of Terabase can make significant progress in the safety, quality, cost and schedule of solar construction. “We are excited about the possibilities that await us,” he said. Will Schultekvice president of construction RES.
