Utility-scale and commercial solar project installations can pose unique challenges and the devil is always in the details. Join us in this webinar as a leading EPC discusses how they resolved racking and installation challenges. We will highlight milestone solar installations and walk through aspects of each, including a 17 MW project that effectively addressed the protection of a regional endangered species.
You will also gain insight on:
- How to reduce risks and save money on PV foundation design
- How this EPC expert dealt with challenging site conditions (including sloping terrain, ground clearance issues, etc.)
- How services can increase your capabilities and cut costs (value engineering, project management, etc.)
