Well, you could now have a robot do the job for you! By California-based startup Qbotix, this robot called the SolBot uses a track positioned alongside the solar-panel array and using a magnate, locates each station. The robot then attaches itself to the unit and suitably tilts and adjusts the panel towards the sun, helping increase energy generation by nearly 40%! Measuring 1.5 meters long and a meter high, these robots use lithium batteries to power up and manage nearly 200 panels at a time, taking 40 minutes to adjust these all suitably. Available in 300-kW units with a back-up robot and steel tracks included, the SolBot robot also packs GPS connectivity for data collection.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/gadgets-and-tech\/solbot-robot-adjusts-solar-panels-towards-the-sun-increasing-energy-generation-by-40.php\/attachment\/qbotix-robot-1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5616 follow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/qbotix-robot-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"qbotix-robot-1\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/qbotix-robot-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/qbotix-robot-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/gadgets-and-tech\/solbot-robot-adjusts-solar-panels-towards-the-sun-increasing-energy-generation-by-40.php\/attachment\/qbotix-robot-2\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5617 follow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/qbotix-robot-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"qbotix-robot-2\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/qbotix-robot-2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/qbotix-robot-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/gadgets-and-tech\/solbot-robot-adjusts-solar-panels-towards-the-sun-increasing-energy-generation-by-40.php\/attachment\/qbotix-robot-3\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5618 follow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/qbotix-robot-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"qbotix-robot-3\" width=\"550\" height=\"219\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/qbotix-robot-3.jpg 550w, https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/qbotix-robot-3-300x119.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.designboom.com\/weblog\/cat\/16\/view\/23421\/qbotix-robot-maximizes-solar-panel-output.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Designboom<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tired of adjusting your solar panels to make the most of the sunlight outside?
