Chinese robot outperforms human teams in Australian solar installation hubs.li/Q03k9JTV0 A Chinese tech company says it has completed its first solar module mounting contract with an AI-controlled robot in Australia, helping to carve 25 per cent off the project delivery time, and doing the job of three to four humans. 🚀 This robotic installer in Australia demonstrates significant gains in efficiency and scale of the coming solar, wind and battery disruption of our energy systems, installing thousands of panels at a rate equivalent to 3-4 human workers.

"The power density of solar PV is high enough to turn the densest city in the U.S. into an exporter of electricity." Nice thought experiment (Jesse and I are aware that this would make NYC a net exporter, but you still need a buffer for the winter.)

How much of NYC would you need to cover in solar panels to turn it into a net exporter of electricity? NYC uses about 50 TWh of electricity per year. NYC has ~780 square kilometers of land area, and a GHI of 4 kWh/m^2/day, giving a primary solar resource of ~1,100 TWh/year -
