AES is fundamentally changing the way solar is installed to make it more affordable, accessible, faster, safer, efficient and scalable to accelerate decarbonization for businesses worldwide.
That’s why we’re revolutionizing the future of solar through our first-of-its-kind solar robot and innovation partnership with 5B.
Atlas
AES developed a first-of-its-kind solar robot to enhance the speed, efficiency and safety of scaling solar.
Why Atlas?
Atlas will complement our skilled workforce by keeping them safe and performing the heavy lifting, placing and attachment of solar modules while adding new high-tech jobs.
Solar jobs are installation and construction-related, the largest segment in the industry
U.S. solar workers needed by 2030 to reach 100% clean energy goal by 2035
Increase of employment in solar installation from 2020-2030, the fastest growing career in the U.S.
Solar construction can be automated
O&M services can be automated

5B and AES unfold the power of solar energy
AES is a world leader in solar innovation
AES is one of the world leaders in battery energy storage and integrating batteries with renewable energy, like solar, wind and hydropower.
Solar-plus-storage
24/7 carbon-free energy
Google and AES innovate the next frontier in clean energy
Google set a world-leading goal to be 100% powered by clean energy on an hourly basis by 2030, knowing that a 24/7 carbon-free energy solution didn’t exist at the time. Read the case story to find out how we worked together to create a first-of-its-kind 24/7 carbon-free energy solution.
