Gritt Exits Stealth: AI Robotics Claim 5x Solar Panel Installation Throughput

Gritt, founded by Carnegie Mellon-trained roboticists, exited stealth on July 21, 2026 with $34 million in funding. Its AI-controlled rented hardware — Kawasaki arms and skidders — lifts and positions solar panels with sub-millimeter accuracy, lifting crew throughput from 800 to 3,000–4,000 panels daily. The company holds a contracted 2.8 GW backlog and plans to scale from 2 to 48 systems in six months.
