Physical Robots

Physical robotics, autonomous machines, and automated equipment are the main threat to the physical tasks in this occupation.

Solar Photovoltaic Installers perform hands-on rooftop and ground-mount installation of solar systems—physical work involving electrical connections, structural mounting, and safety protocols in varied environments. AI design tools (Aurora Solar, Helioscope) optimize system design pre-installation, but the physical installation itself remains human. Through 2027, strong demand growth from energy transition means installer employment grows significantly despite any productivity gains from AI-assisted logistics and design tools.
