Huzhou Leapting Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “LEAPTING” or the “Company”) has officially announced the completion of its Pre-B round financing surpassing 100 million yuan. This round of funding will accelerate the company’s R&D on key technologies for automated installation of photovoltaic (PV) modules in power plants, support its global industrialization strategy, and enable market expansion, further solidifying its leading position worldwide.
Founded in July 2022, LEAPTING is a global leader in the PV energy intelligent robotics sector. Committed to driving industry transformation through technological innovation, the company has pioneered intelligent installation for PV power stations and aims to become an expert in unmanned intelligent solutions that cover the entire lifecycle of PV power stations. It effectively addresses core issues of traditional manual operations, such as high costs, low efficiency, safety concerns, and long project cycles, sparking an efficiency revolution in the clean energy industry and significantly advancing the intelligent upgrading of the PV sector.
Continuous Capital Injection and Deep Industrial Synergy
Since its founding, the Company has gained widespread favor in the capital market because of its superior technological expertise and commercialization skills. In previous financing rounds, multiple existing shareholders have continued to invest through several rounds, clearly demonstrating their strong confidence in the Company’s long-term value. This round brings in โCapital Todayโ as a strategic major shareholder and โLongcapitalโ as a new investor, while existing shareholder โClory Venturesโ has made its fourth consecutive investment after three rounds of follow-on funding.
The company’s current shareholder list also includes PV and new energy industry giants like โCanadian Solarโ, Suzhou Maxwell Technologies, and โHoymilesโ. Supported by the combined strength of top-tier financial capital and industrial giant capital, this not only affirms the company’s key position in the industry chain but also provides strong backing for ongoing R&D investments, overseas market expansion, and supply chain integration, establishing a significant global competitive edge.
Explosive Growth in the Installation Business in 2025, Covering Major Global PV Markets
2025 marks a breakout year for the Automatic Navigation PV Module Mounting Robot (hereinafter called the “MMR”) business: the first order in Australia was secured in February, with repeat purchases in June; the South African market was entered in July; a GW-scale order was signed with a Middle Eastern client in August, with 60 robots deployed in batches; the first order in Europe was completed in October; the South American market was entered in November; and another project in Western Australia’s mining sector was signed in December, expanding the application from flat-ground power plants to complex mining areas for the first time. These commercialization milestones show that the Company’s MMR business network now covers major global PV markets, including Australia, the Middle East, Europe, South America, and South Africa, marking a shift from “going overseas for projects” to “achieving commercial success.”
Pioneering Large-Scale GW Deployments and Establishing New Industry Technical Standards
As the pioneer and clear leader in the global PV power plant intelligent installation industry, LEAPTING has established an unshakeable market leadership position worldwide and become the first company globally to achieve GW-scale deployment of PV installation robots. Technologically, the company’s self-developed MMR is based on a vision multi-source fusion system, enabling centimeter-level real-time positioning and millimeter-level precise installation, combined with all-terrain adaptive motion control. Its exceptional reliability has been proven in extreme working conditions such as complex mining areas, high-temperature deserts, and snowy plateaus. Field test data shows that a single unit completes the installation of one module on average every 30 seconds, with a daily installation capacity of 600-700 modulesโ3-5 times more efficient than traditional manual labor. It reduces overall installation costs by over 50% and shortens project cycles by more than 25%.
Abu Dhabi Project: A Benchmark for “Made in China” Going Global
On January 14, 2026, at the site of the world-class 1.5GW PV3 AI Ajban project in Abu Dhabi, UAE, LEAPTING’s MMRs held a ceremony for simultaneous automatic module installation by multiple units, witnessed by senior representatives from Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), Masdar, รlectricitรฉ de France (EDF), Korea Western Power, and PowerChina Huadong Engineering Corporation. This marks the first demonstration project in the UAE to adopt robotic automation technology for PV module installation, representing another milestone in China’s intelligent construction technology applied to large-scale Middle Eastern PV projects, following the 500MW deployment at Saudi Arabia’s PIF4 project. The phased achievements of this project have been recognized by senior executives of major Middle Eastern energy groups and featured in special reports by leading Chinese media, including People’s Daily and CCTV’s “Two Sessions, You and Me,” vividly illustrating how “Made in China” is driving the intelligent transformation of global green energy.
Mr. Bruce Wang, Founder and CEO of the Company, stated: “Against the backdrop of the exponential increase in demand for artificial intelligence computing power and the rapid progress toward global carbon neutrality goals, energy has become the main bottleneck of the digital age. In this context, PV, with its abundant resources, fast technological advancements, and steadily decreasing costs, is shifting from an alternative energy source to a primary energy source, creating significant potential for PV power station installation business. Currently, unmanned installation of PV power plants is still in its early stages. With its leading technologies and products, the company has taken the lead in achieving commercial breakthroughs and driving the global intelligent transformation of PV installation. This round of financing will speed up our expansion into the global PV installation robot market. Moving forward, the company will continue to broaden its product portfolio, extending from a single installation scenario to full-lifecycle unmanned operation of power stations, aiming to achieve comprehensive coverage of major global PV markets by 2026.
