RoboForce, a cutting-edge AI robotics startup, is set to revolutionize the solar industry with its debut of “Robo-Labor” at Intersolar 2025 in San Diego, CA. The company’s AI-enabled, all-terrain robots promise to significantly improve the time and cost efficiency of utility-scale solar projects, even in remote and harsh environments. Attendees at Intersolar can witness RoboForce’s latest generation robot in the Startup Pavilion, showcasing the technology that enables these machines to construct solar panels from ground to grid.
RoboForce: Addressing Labor Shortages with AI-Powered Robotics
This public unveiling follows RoboForce’s announcement of $10 million in early-stage funding earlier this year. The robots boast an impressive 1mm precision in fine motor movements, combined with an internally developed AI expert model, enabling them to install and secure solar modules for large-scale commercial and utility projects. In fact, RoboForce claims its robots can perform installation labor at three times the efficiency and productivity of human labor, and at a third of the average US labor cost for the same work.

As a result, RoboForce aims to address the solar industry’s ongoing labor shortages, a challenge that the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) recently highlighted as a factor flattening industry growth despite projections of over 4,400 GW of solar power being built globally by 2030. Therefore, RoboForce’s Robo-Labor fleet can safely and efficiently work alongside humans where needed, freeing human laborers from repetitive and physically demanding tasks.
Driving Decarbonization and Meeting Energy Demands
Furthermore, by enabling solar projects in harsh and remote locations, RoboForce’s technology advances decarbonization goals and helps meet increased energy demands at an accelerated rate. Pilot projects for early customers are commencing in early 2025, with a commercial launch planned for the end of the year.
” With over a century of combined AI robotics expertise, RoboForce is ready to help solar customers leverage AI and automation for faster, more cost-effective utility-scale projects,” says Leo Ma, Founder and CEO of RoboForce. “Our ‘super worker’ fleet empowers users to tackle industry challenges and drive a more sustainable future.”
Intersolar attendees can hear more from RoboForce CEO Leo Ma in the panel discussion, “From Prototype to Market – Scaling Cutting-Edge Energy Solutions,” along with Head of Business Development. Veeral Hardev, in the panel, “Powering Progress: Building a Skilled & Inclusive Solar Workforce.”
Looking Ahead: Expanding Applications of Robo-Labor
As part of its progress towards commercialization, RoboForce has recently built an outdoor mini-farm solar testing site and is actively engaging with additional partners and customers.
The company is also exploring real-world applications of general-use Robo-Labor in sectors like mining, nuclear power, and space.
