Gritt develops intelligent robotic systems that automate solar-plant construction, addressing labour shortages in renewable-energy buildout. Its robots bolt onto existing construction equipment and use modern AI models to operate in unstructured environments, raising installation rates to 3,000-4,000 panels a day at sub-millimeter accuracy against roughly 800 for a traditional eight-person crew. Founded by Carnegie Mellon-trained roboticists Puneet Puri (CEO) and Vishal Dugar (CTO). Holds contracts for 2.8 GW of installation over 18 months and serves three of the top ten US power construction companies. No valuation has been disclosed.
