Gritt Exits Stealth With AI Robotics Claiming 5x Solar Panel Installation Speed

Gritt, founded by Carnegie Mellon roboticists, exited stealth July 21, 2026 with $34 million in funding. Its AI-guided robotic arms and skidders lift and position solar panels at sub-millimeter accuracy, raising crew throughput from 800 to 3,000–4,000 panels daily. The company holds a 2.8 GW contracted backlog and plans to scale from 2 to 48 systems within six months.
