How Robots and AI Are Rebuilding Solar Construction From Scratch | Soliverse Ep. 40

Send us Fan MailWhat does it take to build utility-scale solar at the speed the energy transition actually needs?In this episode of Soliverse | The Future of Solar, Peter Pongracz speaks with Matt Campbell, CEO and Co-Founder at Terabase Energy Inc., about the future of solar construction, AI-driven robotics, energy storage, and the digital systems needed to scale solar from megawatts to gigawatts. Matt explains why traditional solar construction is still largely manual, why the industry needs integrated workflows instead of disconnected tools, and how Terabase is building a platform that connects yield simulation, construction management, data, AI, and robotics into one end-to-end system.The conversation goes deep into the pressure created by data center power demand, grid constraints, battery storage, project scale, and supply chain realities. Matt also shares how Terabase approaches products like PlantPredict, Construct, and Terafab, why physical AI is changing what robots can do on real construction sites, and what it could take to build a gigawatt of solar in less than ten weeks.Connect with Matt Campbell:LinkedInTerabase Energy WebsiteSupport the showThank you for listening to Soliverse | The Future of Solar, the podcast for people building the future of solar, storage, and renewable infrastructure.Each episode features grounded, unfiltered conversations with the people financing, developing, operating, and scaling real projects across the solar and clean energy ecosystem.Soliverse exists to cut through noise, hype, and disconnected narratives and replace them with clarity, realism, and execution-focused insight for professionals who want to make smarter decisions, faster.📌 Explore more from SoliverseExplore our partners:PVX.AI, utility-scale solar design software📲 Follow Soliverse and Peter for more insights and updates:Peter on LinkedInSoliverse InstagramSoliverse X (Twitter)Subscribe on YouTube🎙️ New episodes release bi-weekly.Produced by APodcastGeek
