About Maximo

Maximo receives a photovoltaic module, uses onboard perception to check the panel and tracker position, then lifts, aligns and mechanically secures the module along the row. Cameras, computer vision and LiDAR support the tracked platform, while an upper arm handles placement and a lower arm completes clamp work. A mobile lithium-iron-phosphate microgrid provides field power.

AES reported multi-robot operations and more than 130,000 installed modules by the end of 2025. It also recorded 72 MW of signed and completed contracts with engineering, procurement and construction companies. A two-person operating model and targets for faster, lower-cost installation are manufacturer claims; realised output depends on array design, module flow, weather, site preparation and safety controls.

Timeline

  • Maximo completes 100 MW of robotic solar installation at AES' Bellefield complex

    2026-03-25 - Production Milestone - Maximo completed 100 MW of utility-scale solar installation at AES' Bellefield complex, scaling from a single robot to a fleet of four Maximo v3 units. AES said the fleet surpassed one module per minute and enabled crews to install as many as 24 modules per shift hour per person. The release framed the result as a large-scale proof point for robotic solar construction inside a live utility project.

  • AES launches Maximo, its AI-enabled solar installation robot

    2024-07-30 - Product Launch - AES introduced Maximo as a robotic system that works alongside construction crews to automate placing and attaching solar modules. The company said Maximo had already installed nearly 10 MW of solar at launch and was projected to install 100 MW by 2025. AES said it planned to use Maximo across up to 5 GW of solar backlog and pipeline over the following three years, including Bellefield in California.
