Digital and automation platform for utility-scale solar plant development and operations
Terabase Energy builds software and automation systems for utility-scale solar farms—think control logic, plant design, construction management, and real-time SCADA. The tech stack is firmly rooted in industrial automation (Siemens PLCs, Allen-Bradley, Rockwell, EtherCAT) layered with engineering simulation (MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS) and modern data tools (Python, SQL). With 23 engineering roles open against a 51–200 headcount, the organization is heavily tilted toward construction automation and grid integration; notably absent are typical SaaS hiring patterns (no product managers, no customer success), signaling a hardware-centric, project-delivery business model.

Terabase Energy designs and operates software platforms for large-scale solar power plant development, construction, and operations. Founded in 2019 and based in Berkeley, California, the company serves utility developers and operators who need to reduce costs and accelerate timelines on multi-megawatt PV installations. The product suite spans plant design, construction automation, energy management system (EMS) controls, SCADA integration, and grid compliance tooling. Active projects include construct platform development, mechanical design for solar installations, blackstart studies, drone-based site inspection, and factory acceptance testing. The team is primarily located in the United States with some presence in France.
