Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the defining themes in utility-scale solar, but for Areg.AI, the conversation extends well beyond predictive analytics. During Intersolar Europe 2026, the company presented its vision of what it calls the world's first "solar autopilot": a platform designed not only to detect issues inside a photovoltaic plant, but also to diagnose them, determine the optimal response, execute the required actions and continuously evaluate their financial impact.

Speaking with Review Energy, Hayk Harutyunyan, Co-founder and CEO of Areg.AI, argued that this level of autonomy will become essential as global solar capacity continues to expand.

"Solar operations have to become autonomous. The industry's growth is simply not sustainable otherwise," he said.

Unlike conventional monitoring platforms that primarily generate alarms and recommendations for operators, Areg.AI's approach seeks to automate the entire operational workflow.

"Autopilot means much more than detecting a problem," Harutyunyan explained. "The platform identifies the source of the issue, proposes the solution, creates the work order, manages the complete process and even evaluates the financial impact. It manages the power plant from identifying a problem all the way to solving it."

A vertically integrated approach

One of the company's main differentiators, according to Harutyunyan, lies in the fact that Areg.AI develops virtually every layer of its technology stack internally.

Beyond its proprietary ERP platform and AI agent, the company is also developing its own Digital Twin technology, robotics and autonomous field equipment. It also owns and operates its own solar O&M companies, allowing engineers to continuously validate algorithms and robotic systems under real operating conditions.

"We are a full-stack company," he said. "We own the software, we develop the robots, we train our AI, and we operate solar plants ourselves. That feedback from real operations allows us to build better technology."

The company's objective is not simply to automate tasks but to redefine the relationship between people and technology inside solar operations.

"Humans should supervise intelligent systems rather than spend their time performing repetitive or hazardous work. Robots should handle the manual tasks so people can focus on higher-value activities," Harutyunyan concludes.

Spain becomes Areg.AI's gateway to Europe

Beyond showcasing its autonomous O&M platform, Areg.AI used Intersolar Europe 2026 to formalize one of the company's most significant strategic milestones to date: the signing of the definitive agreements to acquire Ansasol Services, one of Spain's most experienced solar operations and maintenance providers.

The acquisition marks Areg.AI's entry into one of Europe's largest photovoltaic markets and provides the company with a local operational base from which it plans to expand across the continent.

"Spain is the obvious choice if you want to enter the European solar market," the Co-founder and CEO of Areg.AI, told Review Energy. "It has one of the largest utility-scale portfolios in Europe and enormous potential for collaboration."

Rather than expanding solely through software, Areg.AI is combining Ansasol Services' nearly two decades of O&M expertise with its own technology stack, including its Master SCADA platform, Digital Twin technology, AI diagnostics, the ARPI AI agent and autonomous robotic systems. The goal is to build an integrated operating model capable of improving plant performance while scaling intelligent O&M services across Spain and the wider European market.
