    I’m *thrilled* to share we just learned Luminous has been nominated for the NEVY Awards, Emerging Company of the Year. The NEVY Awards is one of New England’s most prestigious honors by New England Venture Capital Association recognizing standout companies that have scaled nationally and created lasting impact — e.g. Desktop Metal, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Klaviyo, amongst other legends. Years ago, when I co-founded my first company, I "crashed" the NEVYs and was blown away by the sheer density of people building things that change the world. Today, Luminous is among that crowd. It’s a testament to our incredible team and to the ambitious mission we’ve been obsessing over this past year: building infrastructure to power AI and local homes as we unlock truly accessible energy at scale. Massive mission. Relentless execution. And we’re just getting started!

    At 1am EST, we were informed LUMI serial no. BY002 from halfway across the world in Australia has exceeded production targets, at 103.5%. So exciting to see the Luminous is so locked into execution mode. This team was surprising me every week with something new that exceeded expectations. Now, it seems like it's every single day. The compounding effect of execution velocity and network effects with in field experience + data is real.

    We just did the impossible—Luminous went from meet to contract, to mobilize, to deploy in < 7 days. I’ve never seen something close to this in robotics, completely unthinkable in deep tech where there’s normally a stigma for latency. Yet, somehow I feel our team creates miracles every single week. LUMI is now live on a 106 MW site, on the most aggressive mobilization timeline to date. Directly into production to help build solar energy infrastructure and make impact TODAY for European Energy and Pilecom Pty Ltd. It truly is impressive seeing this type of velocity in all aspects of the org and from our partners. So much so, this team really makes you believe anything is f’ing possible!

    I’m increasingly blown away with Luminous redefining deep-tech execution velocity—shipping into the field on a timescale everyone assumes is impossible. Our team continues to exceed expectations as the next fleet of LUMIs goes live on a 440 MWp solar site. In a single week, we completed component retrofits, mobilization, safety requirements, and brought the entire fleet into production. This is what it means to be a real robotics company that ships. In the past quarter alone, LUMI has touched ground on nearly 1 GW of solar farms. That’s enough energy to power Meta’s entire mega data center in El Paso, TX. These machines will be acquiring the largest, most comprehensive dataset to fine-tune the LUMI technology and will be open sourced for the solar industry, supporting Phase 2 of our Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) Solar Scaleup efforts with Equans Solar & Storage and Neoen Australia

    Pretty cool to see LUMI in the morning news: NBC News TODAY Show on MassRobotics' Robot Parade and Block Party. Luminous was founded to make massive global impact to humanity through energy infrastructure... Yet it's becoming more and more clear as LUMI drove safely through a crowd of 1300 people, sparking such great enthusiasm from the kids. Luminous will also, make massive impact to the community by inspiring the next generation of inventors. Consider joining us on this important mission - we're hiring in U.S. and Australia.

    What a fantastic day at Röhlig Melbourne! Our Röhlig Logistics x Luminous Robotics Open House brought together innovation, collaboration, and the future of renewables and logistics under one roof. We kicked off with inspiring words from David Guarnera and Ilaria Giovannetti, sharing the story of our partnership with Luminous Robotics. Then Jay Park and Tenzin Crouch took us on a journey into the technology behind LUMI — the intelligent robot transforming solar panel installation with AI-driven precision and efficiency. Guests witnessed LUMI in action — lifting, placing, and adapting seamlessly to real-world worksites. It’s incredible to see technology that empowers people, boosts safety, and speeds up renewable energy projects. We’re proud to support this innovation as the logistics partner behind LUMI’s journey in Australia — made possible with the help of Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), Bouygues Construction Australia, and Equans Solar & Storage Australia (a valued Röhlig customer). And what better home for LUMI than our brand-new 4Star Green Star Rating  Melbourne warehouse near Tullamarine Airport — a symbol of Röhlig’s ongoing investment in innovation and sustainability. A big thank you to all our guests for joining us after a busy All Energy Australia Expo week — what a perfect way to wrap up renewables week in Melbourne! #RohligLogistics #LuminousRobotics #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #Logistics #Melbourne #Sustainability #ARENA #BouyguesConstruction #Equans #AI #Technology #Partnership

  • All Energy Australia Open House with Röhlig Logistics was extremely fun as LUMI demonstrated flawless installation of solar panels in front of a private audience of 50+ customers, investors, and partners. Thank you all who attended and for those following along our journey—we’re grateful for your support! Our execution speed and commitment to building machines that do real work onsite is unmatched—so much so that we are already doing site visits and preparing to ship more LUMIs across Australia!!

    One year ago, we broke ground at our Goorambat East Solar Farm - and what a year it’s been! Our teams have powered through to install over 500,000 solar panels across 630 hectares near Benalla in Victoria. ⚡ We’ve recently celebrated a major milestone by completing installation. A big thank you to everyone who made this happen - your energy and dedication are what make the sun shine on this project.

    Luminous recently appeared in the Australian news, featuring our work at ENGIE’s GESF site! This is quite a special moment as I look back at our company’s founding thesis and open sourced culture page titled “Luminous was founded to make positive global impact, now”—from almost two years ago. Today, this organization has massively grown. The mass behind it is magnitudes of what it once was, fueled by a strong belief from the best partners and friends within the industry. Because of you, we’ve ALREADY made impact at the global level—and this is just the beginning!!

    We’re excited to share LUMI has successfully completed its InnovateMass pilot program with Nexamp, the country’s largest community solar developer on a 7.3 MW site. When energized, the solar farm will bring clean energy to about 1500 average homes! This project was awarded to Luminous earlier this year through Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and MassVentures. And our team has been especially grateful to Perron, Chris and the entire Nexamp team for the trust, collaboration, and support, which contributed to successfully proving this tech on such a challenging construction site. Chris and Nexamp have been champions in helping us and the industry to energize faster and safer with new innovative solutions. We’re now keen to start scaling this technology, continue making positive impact, and bring more clean energy to the US!
