Utility scale solar construction projects have experienced exponential growth over the last 20 years. Demand for clean energy, and energy in general, continues to grow rapidly. Fueled by economic growth, rising temperatures, AI datacenters, and more, the rate of energy production will need to rise to meet this demand. Utility solar is well positioned for the task, with the rate of solar construction continuing to accelerate, but the industry is facing bottlenecks. To date, utility solar construction has been able to improve efficiency and scale up to the hundreds or even thousands of megawatts, but labor has become increasingly limited. On isolated sights, a single project might use up the entire labor pool in a region.
The path forward is better tools and equipment – enabling the construction industry to build more and build faster with fewer labor hours per megawatt. Dorn Solar Consulting helps technology companies understand the tooling and process requirements of the construction industry, and helps construction companies evaluate and integrate reliable and effective tools and equipment onto their sites.
Robotics and Automation
Dozens of companies and innovators are working to automate solar construction, but many struggle to bring their ideas and technologies to the job site. Whether it is a new tool or an entirely novel process, we can help you market to EPCs and prepare for deployment. Our services include:
- Field conditions gap analysis
- Market entry & institutional buying insight
- Pilot planning & safety compliance
- And more…
Utility Scale Solar Construction
With the pace of solar adoption accelerating, EPCs can’t afford to be limited by labor bottlenecks and yesterday’s tools, but neither can they afford to hold up construction with unwieldy and untested technology. Dorn consulting offers:
- Vendor assessment and vetting of novel tools and equipment
- ROI and payback modeling
- Site rollout planning
- Team training, integration, and transition strategies
- And more…
