Senior Project Engineer Camelot Energy Group Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Utility and commercial scale solar and storage projects face many challenges during construction that can impact project schedule, system safety, and long-term performance. It is often difficult to avoid many of these issues even with sound development and design practices, which is why thorough construction monitoring is important to identify and prevent bad construction practices quickly. Using case studies and real-world examples from 100+ site visits across 50+ sites since 2022, we will focus on the most common mistakes that we see during construction and how to catch and correct these mistakes before they have serious impacts on the project. Construction topics covered will include civil and environmental work, material delivery and storage, major electrical equipment installation, utility coordination and testing & commissioning processes.
