Claim 7:
8. 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
a library of known types of solar trackers and procedures of how one or more solar modules should be installed onto a particular type of solar tracker targeted for installation, where at least one of i) the automated ground vehicle and ii) the robotic arm is configured with an intelligence module to select and follow a procedure for that particular type of solar tracker to install the solar module properly in place, guided by at least a vision system to install the solar module in place.
