Solar RFPs often contain requirements for a contractor to make local hires or to train local workers. Utilizing new solar-industry-specific training services, like Training Within Industry (TWI), EPCs are able to locally source the majority of the necessary labor for the construction and installation of new solar systems. Additionally, innovative EPC’s are also reducing their footprint by employing sustainable construction and installation practices. Hear from EPCs who are innovating to streamline the installation process, reducing travel-related costs, and using sustainable design and construction practices while empowering the local communities in which they operate.
