One of main problems with construction drone is it's inability to load autolathe there in construction site, to get electronics for APCs and Air alarms. There is a gripper for it (/obj/item/weapon/gripper/no_use/loader), and construction drone with such gripper will be able to do some actual work beside setting this 20 solar panels.
Also adding battery production to autolathe (even /obj/item/weapon/cell/crap with it's 500 charge to hacked autolathe items) will make drone in construction site to do some work faster, not moving things through entire station because there is no power in some area.
