Chinese tech company Leapting Technology has signed an agreement with Indian engineering firm Larsen & Toubro (L&T) to supply unmanned intelligent robots for the construction of 3.5 GW of solar parks in Saudi Arabia. The robots will be used to install PV modules at two sites covering tens of millions of square metres, addressing labor shortages and extreme heat conditions reaching 50°C.

The robots, which use automatic navigation, have completed testing at Leapting’s factory in Huzhou and will be shipped to Saudi Arabia in May. They are expected to install hundreds of thousands of PV modules within six months.

This deal follows Leapting’s successful deployment of its AI-driven robot in Australia. The company claims its technology offers 3–5 times higher efficiency and can reduce overall construction time by 25% compared to manual operations.

[SMM PV News] Armenia Hits 1.1 GW Solar Capacity,

Armenia’s cumulative solar capacity has surged to 1.1 GW following the addition of approximately 615 MW in 2025. This rapid expansion has pushed solar's share of electricity generation to around 15%, effectively meeting the country's 2030 target years ahead of schedule. The growth is heavily driven by a net-metering scheme supporting over 50,000 autonomous producers (totaling 650 MW), though the government ended loan subsidies for rooftop solar in July to shift focus toward battery storage.
