About Swap Robotics
Swap Robotics develops electric solar-vegetation-cutting robots for utility-scale solar sites. The company presents the system as a plug-and-play service that handles vegetation work around photovoltaic installations, with the goal of reducing manual labour and starting a site programme within 30 days.
Swap also identifies solar-module installation as an adjacent service area and reports a $7 million 2023 seed round. Its current robotics offer centres on vegetation cutting at photovoltaic sites, while future installation work and the hardware, autonomy and cutting envelope vary by project.
