Charge Robotics

Charge Robotics, an MIT-founded company headquartered in San Leandro, California, builds large-scale robotic systems that automate the most labor-intensive tasks in solar construction. The company designs and manufactures complex robots approximately the size of a small airplane, each containing more than a dozen subsystems, which are deployed to utility-scale solar construction sites primarily across the US Southwest. With a focused engineering team of approximately 15 people—mostly hardware engineers complemented by a robotics software team—Charge Robotics has established an efficient production cadence, completing new systems every few months and currently building their third system. Backed by prominent investors including Founders Fund, Energy Impact Partners, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator (S21), the company is positioned for growth and is actively expanding its leadership structure with plans to hire a Head of Engineering.
