Puneet claims GRIT's AI-powered robots will enable a crew of 8 to install 3,000–4,000 solar panels per day (vs. 800 baseline).
“Typically, a group of eight would do 800 panels a day. Right? A good group. So you're doing one person is doing 100 panels a day if you're really solid. If you like, a weak crew would do 50 panels a day. What we are saying is once you once you let AI come into the field and actually boost the productivity, you could see almost 3,000 to 4,000 of these panels being installed by the same crew of eight.”

Our resolution criterion
disputableGRIT Robotics field data shows crew-of-8 daily installation rate; verify if actual rate reaches 3,000–4,000 panels/day in production deployments.
