Claim 5:
6. 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 wind sensor attached to a chassis to determine both velocity and direction of the wind, and an algorithm to compensate for the velocity and direction that the wind is blowing when installing the solar module onto the solar tracker.
