Schletter has long been a leader in the fixed-tilt utility-scale market segment throughout the globe with over 19 years of solar mounting system engineering, design, and manufacturing. With offices in 14 countries, the international solar community has turned to the experts at Schletter to resolve the most challenging of installation requirements. GTM Research estimates that the utility-scale market has a current pipeline of more than 31 GW of pre-contracted projects in the United States. In this fast-paced robust market, avoiding the potential pitfalls found in large solar projects can mean the difference between bringing the power online and on target or behind schedule and over budget.
This webinar will discuss avoiding three common areas issues arise in utility-scale projects and how to create a solid plan from the ground up.
Attend this webinar to learn how to:
- Perform essential groundwork with concise geotechnical testing for the site
- Create cost-effective design concepts by optimizing each area of the site while hitting the mark in code compliance and reducing risk later in the project
- Manage risk for all parties of the installation project through clearly defined communication on the project and installation requirements
