FAQ

What is Max Installation Services?

Max Installation Services is the solutions provider leveraging the proprietary Maximo and Max IQ technologies. Max Installation Services leverages industrial robotics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to automate the end-to-end mechanical installation of solar modules. Max Installation Services partners with solar installers to lighten crew loads and accelerate deployments to meet their goals. 

How fast is Maximo?

Maximo works with solar construction teams to automate construction projects and install modules twice as fast as standard mechanical installation processes.

How does Maximo make solar module installation safer?

Maximo reduces injury risk by eliminating repetitive heavy lifting and bending for installation crew members. Its advanced sensing technology detects people in the area and stops operation to prevent incidents, and the system includes a safety switch held by the operator for extra assurance. Its ability to install modules on higher tracks and operate in harsh environments such as deserts reduces the highest risk human work. 

How does Maximo perform on challenging terrains and in harsh environments?

Maximo has been extensively tested and validated in a variety of conditions and job sites to ensure that it can perform in almost any weather condition, lighting condition, or terrain type. It has successfully deployed more than 20 megawatts of solar modules to date. Maximo’s core robotics technology allows for the system to be positioned in a wide array of orientations and place each panel in the appropriate position. The system has tracks that enable it to maneuver on a variety of ground conditions, including in sandy, muddy, and bumpy environments.

 

The system has great potential to solve problems in extreme desert conditions where working conditions are most challenging and to support solar teams installing modules on the tallest trackers. Maximo allows crews to install safely from the ground at the click of a button.

How closely does Maximo work with hardware and tracker manufacturers?

Maximo works within the supply chain that exists today. We continue to work with module and tracker OEMs to integrate the latest technology as it is released. It is technology agnostic, adaptable to any solar module and quickly expanding to a wide range of clamps, rails and trackers. The Maximo team collaborates closely with tracker manufacturers to ensure seamless operations on current product offerings and to stay ahead of hardware revisions.

What are the optimal use cases for Maximo?

While we envision Maximo to have widespread use in every type of solar construction project that uses trackers , this system has great potential to solve problems in extreme desert conditions where working conditions are the hardest and where (in the US) installation jobs are harder to fill.

 

We also see a major benefit for solar module construction teams installing modules on the tallest trackers. Safety hazards surrounding working at heights lead to slower production rates. Maximo allows crews to install safely from the ground at the click of a button.
