Recognizing Engineers Week 2025 through our Terrasmart team members
Today, we’re taking the opportunity provided by Engineers Week 2025 to highlight some key team members who are living this year’s theme “Design Your Future”. See how we are turning technical ideas and innovation into real-world solar power solutions on a day-to-day basis for our clients. Engineering can bring up images of painstaking CAD drawings and endless rounds of prototyping and design. In reality, the work of applying engineering solutions to real-world scenarios encompasses a wider range of capabilities and roles that ensure projects go smoothly and according to plan. Today, we’re highlighting three team members who each bring unique strengths to our ground-mount solar engineering. Through bold ideas, relentless innovation, and collective ingenuity, they help shape the future—powering our people, partners, and the world forward.
Designing the future of solar at Terrasmart
Carolina Carrera
Degree: Bachelor’s in Architecture, Universidad de Las Américas
Role: Designer of fixed-tilt racking
As a member of the engineering team, Carolina collaborates with a wide range of roles, including engineers and project managers to design fixed-tilt racking that meets differing client needs.
During her more than four years at Terrasmart, Carolina says that she has had the opportunity to learn a lot about the solar industry.
“The job that I do involves a lot of team work between engineers, designers, and project managers to be able to give a complete package to our clients,” says Carolina.
“Knowing that the product and services we as a company offer are contributing to the environment makes me proud to be part of this industry and be helping to change the future.” – Carolina Carrera, Designer, Terrasmart
But that’s not all, she explains. “Knowing that the product and services we as a company offer are contributing to the environment makes me proud to be part of this industry and be helping to change the future.”
At Terrasmart, Carolina is truly “Designing the Future” – for herself, Terrasmart clients, and the wider renewable energy industry.
Driving innovation and the industry through system efficiency
Kade Anthony
Degree: Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, Drexel University
Role: Product Development Project Manager overseeing the application of structural analysis, materials science and design for manufacturability principles on the ground mount team, specifically TerraTrak, Terrasmart’s SAT.
At Terrasmart, Kade applies his mechanical engineering experience to bridge design and manufacturing to develop racking solutions that are durable, high-performing, and scalable. “By collaborating across engineering and production teams, I help drive innovation that enhances system efficiency and supports a renewable energy future,” says Kade.
Kade is also excited for the future of engineering and design. “It’s an incredible time to be an engineer. The tools and resources at our disposal have never been more expansive, empowering us to tackle complex challenges with unprecedented efficiency and innovation.”
“I appreciate that every day at Terrasmart, I get to collaborate with a team of world-class engineers who are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation in solar energy. What I love most is seeing hard work in design translate into real-world impact.” – Kade Anthony, Product Development Project Manager, Terrasmart
And he applies those tools in his work at Terrasmart. “I appreciate that every day at Terrasmart, I get to collaborate with a team of world-class engineers who are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation in solar energy. What I love most is seeing hard work in design translate into real-world impact. There’s a deep sense of reward in knowing that our efforts lead to tangible advancements in renewable energy solutions.”
Though Kade is still early in his career, he’s deeply aware of the need to pass on knowledge. “My goal is to leave a lasting impact at Terrasmart by fostering a culture of continuous improvement, technical excellence, and forward-thinking engineering solutions that drive the industry forward.”
Building strong foundations for engineering excellence that accelerates solar
Katie Stover
Degree: Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, University of Dayton, Ohio
Role: Knowledge Manager in the Platform Engineering team creating and maintaining technical documentation
Katie serves a critical role supporting the engineering function by preserving and making accessible the knowledge central to everything Terrasmart does. Some days, she documents structural calculations for each of our product lines, while others, she develops standard operating procedures and creates guides for engineering tools and processes. In a nutshell, she ensures that Terrasmart engineers have the information they need to make informed decisions efficiently.
Katie first awoke to the possibility of a career in engineering in high school. She took her love of learning difficult concepts, skill at organization and added her passion for renewable energy to find her current role at Terrasmart.
“The better we organize and share our knowledge, the better we can create a lasting foundation for continuous improvement in engineering, and the better we can accelerate the adoption of solar energy.” – Katie Stover, Knowledge Manager, Terrasmart
While my role is not traditional engineering, I enjoy seeing how technical knowledge is applied to solve challenges, and I appreciate that the problem-solving mindset at Terrasmart includes collaboration across teams to improve.” Katie explains.
“The better we organize and share our knowledge, the better we can create a lasting foundation for continuous improvement in engineering, and the better we can accelerate the adoption of solar energy.”
This is just a peek into how Terrasmart team members are contributing to the future of engineering by leading with industry-proven best practices. Their work ensures that every design is meticulously engineered for performance, reliability, and scalability, and builds a strong foundation of innovation for future engineers.
To borrow the sentiment of Engineers Week, we’re dreaming boldly, innovating relentlessly, and creating a future shaped by our collective ingenuity to power our people, partners and the world forward.
