Luminous selected for $4.9M ARENA Solar ScaleUp award
Luminous was selected to receive $4.9 million from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency to introduce and demonstrate its LUMI robotic solar-panel installation system.
Evidence notes
- The project planned the first full-fleet deployment of five LUMI robots at two Australian utility-scale solar farms.
- LUMI autonomously places solar modules onto racking while workers complete the final securing process.
- Luminous partnered with Equans for deployments at Neoen's Culcairn project and Engie's Goorambat East project.
- ARENA said LUMI could help workers install panels up to 3.5 times faster and could reduce solar-farm construction costs by up to 6.2%.
