QBotix Inc., robots in the operation of solar power plants, Menlo Park, California, USA

The RTS accelerated to demonstrate tracking over the course of full day...in 30 seconds, with our latest version of robot SolBot R-225.

QBotix , which harnesses the power of robotics for the solar industry, at Intersolar North America 2013 unveiled the SolBot R-225 and other enhancements for its Robotic Tracking System (RTS), a next generation system for optimizing the productivity of solar power plants.

The SolBot R-225 can manage 340 kilowatts of solar panels, a 13 percent improvement over the SolBot R-200. The SolBot R-225 is also smaller, lighter and requires fewer components than its predecessor. Additionally, the tracking rail for the SolBot R-225 consists of two preassembled pieces rather than multiple parts so it can be quickly snapped together on site.
