From October 12–14, one of Saudi Arabia’s largest and most influential solar and energy storage exhibitions, Solar & Storage Live KSA 2025, was held in Riyadh. Trinabot showcased its next-generation BUILDEX photovoltaic (PV) module installation robot, demonstrating enhanced efficiency, intelligence, and cost-effectiveness, and accelerating the automation and smart upgrade of renewable energy projects across the Middle East. During the event, Trinabot signed a strategic cooperation agreement with MAN Energy, aiming to jointly advance PV project automation and sustainable development in the MENA region.
Automation as a Key Driver of Renewable Energy Development
Automation is emerging as a critical engine for “new quality productivity,” embedding itself throughout the renewable energy value chain. Trinabot focuses on key challenges in PV plant construction and operation, offering integrated solutions that cover automated installation and intelligent operation & maintenance. Through technological innovation and workflow optimization, Trinabot significantly improves operational efficiency, reduces construction and O&M costs, and enables PV plants to achieve “smart construction and intelligent management”.
BUILDEX Robots: Empowering Renewable Energy Growth in the Middle East
Trinabot has prioritized the Middle East market, especially Saudi Arabia, located at the heart of the “sunbelt” with world-class solar resources. Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, which targets renewable energy to account for 50% of the primary energy mix by 2030, the region offers strong policy support for rapid renewable energy development.
The BUILDEX PV module installation robot features optimized structural design and environmental adaptability. Its key capabilities include:
● High-efficiency operation and precise positioning
● Automated module feeding
● Active obstacle avoidance
● Stable performance in high temperatures, sand, and arid conditions
These features enhance installation consistency, reduce labor intensity, and improve long-term reliability.
Trinabot’s product portfolio also includes Aurora rail-mounted dry cleaning robots, Sunwiper crawler-type water cleaning robots, and large-scale PV cleaning vehicles. Designed for extreme Middle East environments with high-temperature and anti-corrosion features, these robots ensure 24/7 intelligent cleaning, improving plant power generation efficiency and lowering long-term O&M costs.
Insights into PV Automation: Innovation at the Forefront
On October 13, Trinabot General Manager Zhu Changjun delivered a keynote titled “Next-Generation PV Plant Automation and Intelligent O&M Solutions”. He presented Trinabot’s latest breakthroughs in intelligent installation and smart operation, sharing real-world deployment cases in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. Zhu emphasized Trinabot’s commitment to risk-resistant, sustainable, and flexible solutions, enabling global renewable energy automation projects to balance safety, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
