The solar industry is at the forefront of the global shift towards renewable energy, and with this comes the challenge of managing increasingly complex projects. To understand how solar executives are approaching these challenges and what their goals are for 2024, we conducted a comprehensive survey. The insights gathered in our “Approaches to Project Management for Solar” report provide a crucial roadmap for leaders looking to navigate this evolving landscape.
Key Report Findings
The Need for Scalable Solutions
Nearly 30% of solar executives emphasized the importance of their software supporting future growth. However, there is a noticeable gap between this need and their confidence in current tools, with only 38% feeling somewhat confident in their existing project management systems. This highlights a critical area for improvement, as scalable solutions are essential for managing the increasing volume and complexity of solar projects.
Focus on Speed and Collaboration
A significant focus for leaders is on accelerating project completion times and enhancing team collaboration. As the industry grows, the ability to complete projects efficiently and foster seamless teamwork becomes increasingly vital. Tools that facilitate these goals are in high demand, reflecting a shift towards more integrated and responsive project management solutions.
The Reliance on Spreadsheets
An astounding 71% of survey respondents reported using spreadsheets for project management. While familiar and initially cost-effective, spreadsheets are notorious for inefficiency and poor collaboration. This reliance underscores a major inefficiency within the industry. Unlike traditional spreadsheets, Sitetracker provides a dynamic platform that promotes efficiency and collaboration, addressing these critical pain points.
