Why assemble the megamodules on-site an not in the factory?

[@CIAVERMONT]

Why not just make bigger panels? Like the size of a tractor trailer? Then you could stack a bunch together in shipping and set up a 52' section all at once.
For that matter, make the units train car sized. You could ship a ton at once then ready to install.

When Americans work from home robots comes out

[@brandongalbraith]

Funny enough, Terabase has work from home flexibility per their careers page. Their automation is reducing the drudgery work of utility scale solar installs, with humans still doing what they do best/value add.

i dont quite get the hype.
the robot only unloads and rotates it into position, similar to basic auto industry robotic arm form 20 years ago. the fastener team, drive team, and mount team can all be automated. wouldnt it be better if the assembly unit was mobile and installs the panels directly to the mount structure in a continuous fashion? similar to tunneling rig, which drills, belt out excavated materials, lift precast panels, and lock them place, and automatically grout the joints.

You should check out other videos on how solar farms are actually constructed. While what TerraFab has done isn't really rocket science, there are many within the industry who will appreciate it.
