A system for installing a solar panel may include a first end-of-arm assembly tool coupled to a first robotic arm and part of a first assembly robot and a second end-of-arm assembly tool coupled to a second robotic arm and part of a second assembly robot. The first and the second end-of-arm assembly tools have different tooling and perform different functions to assembly solar panels to support structure. The first assembly robot and the second assembly robot may be located on autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles and the various components can be operated by a control system based on operation instructions received from a neural network.

Solar panel handling system

A system for installing a solar panel may include an end of arm assembly tool and a linear guide assembly coupled to the end of arm assembly tool. The end of arm assembly tool includes a frame and plurality of attachment devices, such as suction cups, coupled to the frame. The linear guide assembly includes a linearly moveable clamping tool including an engagement member configured to engage a clamp assembly slidably coupled to an installation structure, and a force torque transducer configured to move the clamping tool along the installation structure. A controller configured to control the force torque transducer and the plurality of attachment devices. The end of arm assembly tool is coupled to a robotic arm and is part of an assembly robot that includes autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles. The various components can be operated by a control system based on operation instructions received from a neural network.
