The solar energy and solar farms are used to generate energy and reduce dependence on oil (or for environmental purposes). The maintenance, operation, optimization, and repairs in big farms become very difficult, expensive, and inefficient, using human technicians. Thus, here, we teach using the robots with various functions and components, in various settings, for various purposes, to improve operations in big (or hard-to-access) farms, to automate, save money, reduce human mistakes, increase efficiency, or scale the solutions to very large scales or areas. |

1. A method of adjusting solar panels in a solar farm using a robot, said method comprising:
said robot moving on one or more rails or tracks system in said solar farm; wherein said robot comprises an arm and a trunk; wherein said arm is connected to said trunk; wherein a wrench or tool is attached to said arm; wherein said robot comprises one or more motors; a processor detecting that said robot is in front of a first solar panel; a controller stopping said robot in front of said first solar panel; said robot extending said wrench or tool using said one or more motors; said wrench or tool engaging said first solar panel at one or more panel adjustment devices; said one or more panel adjustment devices changing position or tilt of said first solar panel with respect to one or more angles, axes, or angular or Cartesian coordinate systems; said processor tracking sun, based on an optimization module; said controller sending a command to said robot, based on said optimization module; said robot adjusting said position or tilt of said first solar panel, using said wrench or tool on said one or more panel adjustment devices; said robot retracting said wrench or tool using said one or more motors; said robot moving to a second solar panel, on said one or more rails or tracks system, in said solar farm. |
