NOVATO , CA, UNITED STATES, February 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SunRobi, the robotic-assisted construction division of Sunstall, today announced it has become the first certified operator of autonomous module installation systems developed by Cosmic Robotics. The certification follows multiple successful deployments of Cosmic’s Cosmic-1A system on live solar projects across the United States.
This designation formalizes a close, execution-driven collaboration between SunRobi and Cosmic Robotics focused on bringing advanced construction robotics into real-world production environments. Through extensive on-site use, SunRobi crews have integrated autonomous installation into established EPC workflows—demonstrating how robotics can materially improve speed, consistency, and workforce sustainability at utility scale.
Robotics in production, not theory
Rather than treating automation as a standalone tool, SunRobi has worked alongside Cosmic Robotics to embed the Cosmic-1A system into full project lifecycles—from logistics and layout planning to on-site execution. In active deployments, the system has operated as a force multiplier for experienced crews, enabling higher throughput while reducing physical strain and variability in installation quality.
“Solar demand is accelerating, and construction has to keep up—without burning out the workforce,” said Helge Biernath, CEO of Sunstall Inc. “Robotic-assisted installation allows us to scale responsibly. This isn’t an experiment anymore. It’s ready for production today.”
Through this work, SunRobi is advancing a model of robotic-assisted construction where automation enhances—not replaces—skilled labor. By designing projects around robotic capabilities, SunRobi is enabling smaller, highly trained teams to execute larger projects with greater predictability and safety.
Addressing labor constraints as demand accelerates
As electricity demand continues to rise, the solar industry faces mounting pressure from skilled labor shortages and increasingly compressed construction timelines. SunRobi’s robotic-assisted approach directly addresses these constraints by combining autonomous equipment with construction expertise, creating a more scalable and resilient installation model.
“SunRobi has proven what’s possible when advanced robotics are placed in the hands of operators who deeply understand construction,” said James Emerick, Co-founder and CEO of Cosmic Robotics. “Their ability to integrate Cosmic-1A into live projects has helped move autonomous installation from experimentation into real production.”
About the Certified Operator Designation
The Certified Operator designation recognizes EPC teams with extensive hands-on experience deploying Cosmic Robotics’ autonomous systems in live construction environments. Certification reflects demonstrated capability in operating, maintaining, and optimizing robotic equipment to deliver predictable, high-quality outcomes at scale.
