Claim 8:
9. A system, comprising:
an autonomous solar module installation platform for solar module installation onto a solar tracker, where the autonomous solar module installation platform includes at least an off-road capable base vehicle with a robotic arm mounted on the off-road capable base vehicle for the solar module installation onto the solar tracker;
where the off-road capable base vehicle and the robotic arm are configured to communicate with each other and to cooperate their movements to proceed to the solar tracker and align with the solar tracker in order for the robotic arm to pick up and lift the solar module during an installation of the solar module onto the solar tracker; and
where the robotic arm is configured to pick up the solar module from a deck, raise the solar module out and over to the solar tracker, and then, at least, hold the solar module in place to install the solar module onto the solar tracker via using both i) a GPS coordinates of the solar tracker and ii) a visual Lidar-based system.
