Terabase Energy is revolutionizing large-scale solar construction with a combination of digital platforms and robotics to reduce costs and accelerate deployment. Today on the Clean Power Hour, Terabase Energy CEO Matt Campbell joins Tim Montague to discuss their groundbreaking construction automation system, featuring a unique blend of physical robots and digital technology.

Discover how Terabase's "pop-up factory" is transforming solar construction by eliminating heavy lifting and reducing worker injuries. Robots take charge of unloading and moving panels, while skilled workers focus on finer assembly tasks. The result? A remarkable 25-50% boost in productivity, with a recent pilot installing a staggering 1300 panels in just one day, all thanks to the power of automation.

But that's not all – Terabase's digital platform takes construction management to the next level. It tracks material flow, optimizes construction sequencing, and provides real-time progress updates, bringing unprecedented visibility to construction sites.

Join us as we explore how Terabase Energy is piloting and refining this cutting-edge system in collaboration with industry giants like First Solar. Their plan for large-scale deployment in 2023 promises not only quality and reliability but also a solution to address labor shortages and reduce costs.

In an era where sustainability is paramount, Terabase Energy's innovative construction automation system could be the game-changer the solar industry needs. Don't miss out on the future of solar construction – watch now! 🌞🤖
