About LEAPTING

Huzhou Leapting Technology Co., Ltd. is a Chinese high-tech enterprise founded in July 2022 by Bruce Wang, who serves as the CEO. The company specializes in robotic solutions for the entire lifecycle of photovoltaic (PV) power stations, including intelligent installation, cleaning, and inspection. Headquartered in Huzhou, Zhejiang, with an R&D and marketing center in Shanghai, Leapting aims to address the high costs, low efficiency, and safety concerns associated with manual labor in the solar energy sector.

The company's business model is centered on the research and development, manufacturing, sales, and service of its robotic products. Its clients primarily consist of large-scale solar power station developers, independent power producers (IPPs), and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) companies. Leapting has expanded its presence globally, with projects and partnerships in India, Australia, South Africa, and the Middle East. A significant partnership was formed with RenServ Global, the O&M subsidiary of India-based ReNew, to manufacture solar panel cleaning robots locally in India, aligning with the 'Make in India' initiative.

Leapting offers a suite of products, including the Automatic Navigation PV Module Mounting Robot (MMR), the G1 and G2 cleaning robots, and inspection robots. The MMR uses AI-based vision recognition and automated navigation to install solar modules, with a reported speed of up to one panel per minute, potentially increasing installation efficiency by three to five times compared to manual methods. The waterless G1 cleaning robot is designed for dry cleaning in regions with dust and water scarcity, capable of cleaning up to 4,000 square meters per hour. These robots utilize technologies like IoT, AI, big data analysis, and digital twins to provide personalized and efficient solutions for PV power stations.

Since its inception, Leapting has secured multiple rounds of funding. In 2023, the company completed three financing rounds, including an A+ round led by Vision Plus Capital. More recently, it closed a Pre-Series B funding round of over CNY 100 million (approximately USD 14.5 million) in March 2026, which included investors like Capital Today, Longcapital, and existing shareholder Clory Ventures. The company is also backed by industry players such as Canadian Solar, Suzhou Maxwell Technologies, and Hoymiles. By the end of 2024, Leapting had supplied over 10,000 robots for projects totaling roughly 7 GW globally.
