## Resource

What does it actually take to earn trust at the highest levels of utility-scale solar? Tyler Nelson has a perspective few in the industry can claim. As founder of Revamp Engineering, his team has been embedded in the design and execution of a massive share of utility-scale solar and storage projects across the U.S. — working alongside the developers and EPCs shaping the grid in real time. But this conversation isn’t about scale for the sake of scale. It’s about how that kind of trust is built. We dig into Tyler’s early career at SunPower and how that experience carried forward into the founding of Revamp. He shares how the company landed its first anchor clients, what actually drives credibility in this industry, and why engineering is often the difference between a project that works on paper and one that works in the field. We also explore a different kind of founder mindset — one that isn’t oriented around an exit. Tyler recently transitioned Revamp into an employee-owned company, reinforcing a long-term vision centered on culture, accountability, and durability. Along the way, Tyler offers a clear-eyed view into how the market is evolving, where complexity is increasing, and what teams consistently underestimate as projects scale. Expect to learn: 🔹 What most people misunderstand about how utility scale projects get built 🔹 Why repeatable design works until complexity hits at scale 🔹 How employee ownership is shaping long term company culture Lean in to learn what separates good from indispensable...
