Session by John Goetz and Ameer Abuhamdeh – July 10, 11:30am–11:55am – Energy Transition Theater
EPCs, developers, and asset owners will learn how to optimize utility and community solar project design, equipment selection, and execution while mitigating weather and terrain challenges. Audience key takeaways include:
-
How to ensure your project has the right ground mount racking foundation amidst varying terrain profiles for efficient installation and long-term reliability:
- Ground screws for rocky and hilly terrain, or frost heave conditions;
- Piles for flat, soft sites;
- And ballasted (concrete) systems for environmentally sensitive sites.
- How to use smart software solutions – upfront in the design process – to optimize projects for unique site parameters and select the racking options that help boost yield and reduce land grading, streamlining schedules and budgets.
- Understanding the nuances in asset management software for trackers to help O&M professionals get the most production out of their systems while protecting asset owners from equipment losses during damaging storms.
