AES is innovating leading solar solutions your business can use to become a leader today
Accelerating the future
of energy, together 
AES is fundamentally changing the way solar is installed to make it faster, safer, scalable and cost-effective to accelerate decarbonization for businesses worldwide.
That’s why we’re revolutionizing the future of solar through our first-of-its-kind solar installation robot, Maximo, and our innovation partnership with 5B.


2x
The solar workforce will have to nearly double to keep up with demand.
70 lbs.+
Solar panel sizes and weights are continually increasing, in turn increasing the risk of installation injuries.

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.

Storage plus storage
Kauai Island Utility Cooperative and AES made history by creating a new model for delivering large-scale renewable energy.
Together, we created the PV Peaker Plant, a first of-its-kind DC-coupled solution delivering reliable, readily dispatchable carbon-free power through one of the world’s largest operational solar-plus-storage systems.

Global storage industry
AES launched the global energy storage industry
The Edison Electric Institute (EEEI) recognized AES and our Alamitos Battery Energy Storage System for launching the energy storage industry as we know it today. We proved that large-scale battery storage is a critical piece to integrating intermittent renewable energy to fulfill the promise of a 100% carbon-free future.

Solar robotics
Maximo to revolutionize Amazon solar installation
Maximo, the world’s only robot solution for the full end-to-end automation of mechanical installation of solar modules, will autonomously install a section of solar modules at AES’ solar project in partnership with Amazon. Maximo’s robotic arm will lift and precisely place panels to accelerate timelines and protect construction teams, deliver construction analytics for continuous improvement, and help deliver project completion by working extended shifts through hot desert temperatures.
