San Antonio-based autonomous mobile robot producer Renu Robotics has unveiled a new logo amid rapid growth and a desire to rebrand itself “from startup to full-fledged company.”

PES caught up with Renu Robotics’ CEO Tim Matus to gauge the up-to-the-minute thinking on autonomy in the solar industry. Is it taking off and what direction could the latest technology be headed next?

In this special edition of Contractor’s Corner, autonomous vegetation maintenance provider Renu Robotics discusses the growing vegetation management needs of an expanding utility-scale solar market and how remote robotic mowing can benefit large-scale solar developers.

In the days before utility-scale solar facilities stretched to the horizon, vegetation management wasn’t a worry; a small crew could handle it. One longtime industry pro recently told me this was still true as recently as 10 years ago. For the many O&M directors whose number one budget concern is vegetation management, however, that may…
