Overview
About This Project
One of the largest utility-scale solar projects in the American Southwest, Solaris comprises 1.4 million photovoltaic panels generating 500 MW — enough to power 150,000 homes and offset 680,000 tonnes of CO2 each year.

The Challenge
What We Were Up Against
Remote desert site requiring 18 km of access roads and a self-contained construction camp for 2,200 workers in extreme heat conditions.
Our Solution
How We Delivered
Autonomous drone survey fleet mapped the site at millimetre precision. Phased energisation allowed the first 150 MW to generate revenue 8 months before project completion.
