Terabase Energy – the leader in digital and automation solutions for solar power plants – recently announced $25 million in new funding led by Fifth Wall, the largest asset manager focused on improving, future-proofing, and decarbonizing the built world, with participation from EDP Ventures and existing investors. This funding round will support the commercial scale-up of the company’s recently launched Terafab construction automation system, the world’s first automated digital field factory for solar power plant construction.
