Gritt

Corporate marketconstructionCurated record

Gritt designs and deploys its own robotic arm systems that bolt onto standard construction equipment (skid steers, forklifts) to autonomously pick, position, and place solar panels with millimeter precision. The autonomy stack comprises proprietary AI vision models and motion-planning software trained across multiple construction tasks (panel placement, cinder-block stacking, rebar tying), generalizing rapidly to new tasks from the same architecture. A crew of 8 with Gritt systems installs 3,000–4,000 panels/day vs. ~800 without. Contracted for 2.8 GW of solar buildout over 18 months.
