Charge Robotics is building robots that automate the most labor-intensive parts of solar construction. Solar has rapidly become the cheapest form of power generation in many regions. Demand has skyrocketed, and now the primary barrier to getting it installed is labor logistics and bandwidth. Our robots remove the labor bottleneck, allowing construction companies to meet the rising demand for solar, and enabling the world to switch to renewables faster.
Banks Hunter is the co-founder and CEO of Charge Robotics. Before Charge, Banks was the second employee at Vicarious Surgical, where he led the Embedded Engineering team. He majored in mechatronics at MIT, where he spent free time building quadrotors, silly electric vehicles, and miscellaneous robots. An avid skydiver/climber/snowboarder and general lover of all things outdoors, Banks decided to redirect his career to applying his skillset towards addressing climate change.
Max Justicz is the co-founder and CTO of Charge Robotics. After studying CS at MIT, Max was an early employee at Algorand, where he developed high-performance smart contract software and a secure wallet protecting more than $5b in assets. He is an expert in computer security, having discovered high-profile vulnerabilities in some of the internet’s most critical infrastructure. At Charge, Max is using his skills in software engineering and rapid prototyping to get renewables deployed faster.
