AI plan check for solar farm construction

Solar projects have hundreds of specifications across electrical, structural, and civil disciplines. AI catches the conflicts between specs and drawings that become field delays and rework.First $100 covered. See example issues

“In seven places on the drawing, it says one thing. In the eighth place, it says the other thing. These kinds of mistakes add up over the project. By the time you discover them in the field, what would have been $200 the first time around is $10,000 to redo.”

Why solar project QA matters

Utility-scale solar has unique coordination challenges across electrical, structural, and civil disciplines.

7 Places
Where errors hide

A single spec conflict can appear correct in seven places and wrong in the eighth, causing field rework.

$10K→$100K
Error cost multiplier

What would be a $200 correction in documents becomes $10K+ rework when discovered in the field.

1,000+
Pages per project

Large solar farms have thousands of pages across drawings, specs, and permits. Human review can't catch everything.

Issues AI catches in solar documents

Solar-specific coordination issues that cause delays, rework, and commissioning failures.

Electrical & interconnection

  • Inverter sizing vs array output mismatch
  • Combiner box configuration errors
  • Conductor sizing vs ampacity calculations
  • Interconnection requirements compliance
  • Grounding system specification conflicts

Structural & racking

  • Module layout vs racking capacity
  • Wind/snow load calculations verification
  • Foundation depth vs soil conditions
  • Tracker alignment and spacing
  • Equipment weight vs structural support

Specifications & materials

  • Module specs vs design assumptions
  • Inverter efficiency vs performance models
  • Cable type vs environmental requirements
  • Conflicting material specifications
  • Warranty voiding specification conflicts

Code & permitting

  • NEC Article 690 compliance
  • Local amendment requirements
  • Fire setback and access paths
  • Environmental permit conditions
  • Utility interconnection standards

How solar teams use AI review

  • Pre-construction QA

    EPC contractors run AI review on IFC documents before mobilization. Catching spec-drawing conflicts now prevents field delays that affect COD dates and PPA penalties.
  • Owner's engineer review

    Owners' engineers use AI review to verify EPC contractor's design documents before approval. Systematic check across all disciplines catches coordination issues that spot-checks miss.
  • Design-stage QA

    Engineering firms run AI review at multiple design stages: 30%, 60%, IFC, to catch issues while they're still document corrections rather than change orders.
