Goldbeck Solar’s HeliomatiX system uses a container-based Assembly Hub, autonomous crawler, and robotic mounting to automate solar park construction. The technology can reportedly cut installation man-hours by up to 85% and achieve megawatt-scale deployment within hours.
Goldbeck Solar has won The smarter E Award 2026 in the Photovoltaics category for its self-developed automation system, HeliomatiX.
With this solution, the German EPC company aims to redefine the construction of utility-scale solar parks with the solution. It consists of three core components designed to significantly accelerate solar park construction and reduce weather dependency. The first is the Assembly Hub, a mobile, container-based pre-assembly unit installed directly on site. It can assemble up to four modules in portrait orientation while simultaneously inspecting each module for damage, scanning its serial number, and securely clamping it in place.
In the second step, a crawler transports the pre-assembled modules to the installation area. The autonomous electric vehicle operates independently of ground conditions, rain, or other environmental constraints. This also applies to the third component, Automatic Mounting System(aMoS), a robotic excavator equipped with sensors and a precision gripper that automatically places modules onto the pre-installed mounting structure.
