Hirschberg an der Bergstraße, May 11, 2026 – GOLDBECK SOLAR has been nominated as a finalist for the smarter E Award in the Photovoltaics category with its innovative solution HeliomatiX. The award is one of the most prestigious innovation prizes in the international solar industry and will be presented as part of The smarter E Europe. The winners will be announced on June 22, 2026.
With HeliomatiX, GOLDBECK SOLAR addresses key challenges in the construction of utility-scale photovoltaic plants. The solution aims to replace installation processes that have traditionally been highly manual with an automated and industrial approach. HeliomatiX combines various system components into a seamless, coordinated installation workflow.
At the heart of the concept is the centralized and automated pre-assembly of module units, consisting of solar modules and module carriers. These prefabricated units are transported to the respective installation rows using autonomous vehicles and assembled there with precision by robots. The industrialized approach ensures consistently high installation quality and reduces both the need for on-site labor and dependence on weather-related factors.
HeliomatiX is particularly aimed at large solar park projects, where increasing module sizes, the growing shortage of skilled workers, and changing weather conditions are posing ever greater challenges to traditional construction processes. Through the standardization and automation of individual process steps, the construction of large-scale photovoltaic plants becomes more efficient, safer, and more scalable.
“Being nominated as a finalist for the Intersolar Award is an important validation of our innovative approach,” says Ralf Steinheiser, Head of Innovation & Technology. “It demonstrates that industrial and automated solutions will play a central role in the expansion of solar energy in the future.”
The finalists for the Intersolar Award were selected by an independent panel of experts. Whether HeliomatiX is named the winner will be decided at the official awards ceremony on June 22, 2026, as part of The smarter E Europe.
