Leapting Robots Revolutionize Saudi Solar Project Installation
May 19, 2025 10:17 AM ET
- Leapting Technology's robots revolutionize solar installation in Saudi Arabia, boosting efficiency and cutting construction time by 25% for L&T's massive 3.5 GW project.
Chinese tech firm Leapting Technology will supply unmanned intelligent robots for a 3.5 GW solar project in Saudi Arabia, managed by Indian engineering giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T). The agreement involves deploying automatic navigation photovoltaic module mounting robots to install modules at two sites within a large complex, addressing challenges posed by labor shortages and extreme temperatures.
Leapting's robots, which have completed testing in Huzhou, China, will be shipped to Saudi Arabia in May. They are expected to install hundreds of thousands of PV modules within six months, offering three-to-five times higher efficiency and a 25% reduction in construction time compared to manual methods.
How will Leapting's robots enhance efficiency in Saudi Arabia's 3.5 GW solar project?
- Increased Installation Speed: Leapting's robots can install PV modules three-to-five times faster than human workers, significantly accelerating the project timeline.
- Labor Shortage Mitigation: By automating the installation process, the robots address labor shortages, ensuring consistent progress without the need for a large workforce.
- Temperature Resilience: The robots are designed to operate efficiently in extreme temperatures, a common challenge in Saudi Arabia, maintaining productivity where human labor might falter.
- Precision and Consistency: Automated systems provide precise and consistent installation, reducing errors and ensuring optimal alignment and performance of solar panels.
- Cost Efficiency: The reduction in construction time and labor costs contributes to overall cost savings for the project.
- Scalability: The use of robots allows for easy scalability of operations, accommodating future expansions or additional projects with minimal logistical challenges.
- Safety Improvements: Automation reduces the need for human workers to perform potentially hazardous tasks, enhancing overall safety on the construction site.
