EPC and O&M services for utility-scale solar, storage, and power infrastructure
SOLV Energy operates as a large-scale engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for renewable and conventional power plants, with 500+ completed projects representing 20 GW built and 146 active O&M contracts covering 18 GW. The tech stack reveals a construction-heavy organization (AutoCAD, BIM, Primavera P6 for project controls, PVsyst for solar design) paired with growing financial automation (adopting Planful, Avalara, Vertex for planning, tax, and revenue management), suggesting both operational scaling and tightening cost-to-project profitability management. Engineering and construction roles comprise 78% of active hiring; finance and ops hiring coupled with process-efficiency pain points indicate internal pushback on margin pressure.
Notable leadership hires: Warranty Director, Payroll Director
SOLV Energy provides full-lifecycle infrastructure services to the power industry: engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, testing, operations, and repowering. The company's primary revenue streams are EPC (engineering-procurement-construction) contracts for utility-scale solar and battery storage projects, and O&M (operations and maintenance) contracts for operating power plants. With over 1,000 employees headquartered in San Diego, SOLV also installs SCADA control systems, manages high-voltage substations, and performs emergency response and large-scale repair work. The business model balances high-touch project delivery (each site requires custom quality and compliance plans) against recurring O&M revenue from their installed base.
Core tools: AutoCAD, Civil 3D, BIM, PVsyst (solar design), ETAP (electrical), Primavera P6 (project controls), Workday (HR/finance), and SQL databases. Recently adopting Planful (FP&A), Avalara, and Vertex for financial automation.
More than 500 power plants since 2008, representing 20 GW of generating capacity. The company also provides O&M services to 146 operating plants representing over 18 GW.
