Terabase Energy readies $130M AI‑driven robotics line for commercial solar farms
Terabase Energy announced that its upgraded Terafab V2 automated solar‑construction system has completed field testing and is ready for commercial deployment. The AI‑assisted platform can assemble and position panel‑tracker modules in a two‑minute cycle, delivering roughly 20 MW per week per line, with two factories already operating and a target of ten by Q2 2027. The rollout is backed by $130 million funding.
Also developing:
Oshen, founded by Anahita Laverack and Ciaran Dowds, has built the first autonomous ocean robot to collect data inside a Category 5 hurricane. Their C‑Stars can operate for up to 100 days and were deployed in a swarm of fifteen during Hurricane Humberto, with three robots surviving the full storm and transmitting continuous measurements. The successful run attracted contracts from NOAA and the U.K. government for weather and defense missions, and the company is preparing a venture‑capital raise to meet growing demand.
