Charge Robotics | Multiple Roles | Full-time | Onsite | SF Bay Area

Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed, Series-A startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms.

Check out a video of our first system here! https://youtu.be/ZZ2fP1Y5Z2E

It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation.

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our next generation of mobile solar factory to life.

Come work with us if you love:

* Fast-paced prototype development with software and hardware components

* Making a positive climate impact through your work

* Hacking on massive construction equipment!

Hey HN! One of my best friends + the best programmer I’ve ever met, Peter, just launched his startup. He is building an FPGA-accelerated server for high-memory, high-bandwidth applications. His video is hilariously technical and I hope that by posting this here it can make it in front of the right people.

From his LinkedIn Post [0]:

“My cofounder and I are making an FPGA-accelerated server for high-memory high-bandwidth workloads. A single 2U box will have terabytes of DRAM, terabytes per second of memory bandwidth, over a petabyte of flash, and most unusually, about a terabyte per second of bandwidth to said petabyte of flash.

We're looking for one or two companies to partner with; we'll do the work to port your application to our hardware. Please reach out if you've got a tricky workload! I'd love to see if we can make your heavy workload faster, bigger, and much cheaper.

In particular, I think our hardware is an excellent match for search and vector database workloads, so if you're in the space I'd love to hear from you.

You can message me here, email me at peter@saturndata.com, or grab a call on my calendar: https://lnkd.in/efFiprWr”

...we may have turned the rows for a photo-op :)

Fascinating! My initial thought is that this is going to be very soil dependent. Is this the system you were using? Was it ballasted? https://www.aerocompact.com/en-us/products/ground-mount

One of the coolest parts of our job is figuring out what tweaks we can make to the process to make things more robot-friendly!

One thing we're already doing that's different from human installers is the bay pre-assembly approach you can see in our demo video, where we build chunks of 5-9 modules on a tube and carry them out to the field. Ordinarily humans put up all of the tubes, then all of the brackets, then all of the modules. The pre-assembly approach allows us to do a bunch of work in a more controlled factory environment on a different part of the site.

Longer term there are other ideas we have, but since everything has to last for 30-40 years out in the field you have to be very strategic about making the big changes...

Hey thanks! The trouble with the origami racking approach is that the engineering decisions you make to build a portable, foldable racking system go in some different directions from what makes the best hardware for long-term, large-scale installations.

A couple of ways this shows up: 1. making your system rugged to handle extreme weather. These sites need to last 30-40 years without breaking, which pushes you to use pretty heavy + large components. Piles get driven several feet into the ground, so even with unfolding systems you're still probably pile driving. 2. tracking -- adding the complexity to enable rows to rotate to face the sun makes it harder to make the system portable. Basically all large-scale solar getting built is single-axis tracked. 3. module cleaning -- it's important that vehicles can traverse rows to clean dirt off of modules on a regular basis. Having structure that connects the rows together may make this more difficult.

None of these are intractable on their own but together they make the approach you describe very difficult.
