Common Questions From Solar Crews

How close are you to the East Dublin and Laurens County solar project sites?
Southern Pines is on US-441 S in Dublin — approximately 10-15 minutes from the East Dublin project corridor where Sunelement Energy and SolarMax are operating. The Georgia Power Laurens County solar farm sites are also within easy reach. You're on I-16 in 2 minutes.
Do you offer corporate billing for EPC companies and solar contractors?
Yes. We can invoice your company directly and provide itemized receipts for per-diem reimbursement. Call the office at 260-376-4887 to set up a corporate account — we work with contractor offices, staffing agencies, and corporate travel departments.
Can I park my work truck, trailer, or equipment hauler at my site?
Most sites have room for an additional work truck or utility trailer alongside your RV. Call ahead with your rig length and equipment list and we'll place you on a site that fits. Pull-through sites are available for larger rigs.
Can you hold multiple adjacent sites for an arriving solar crew?
Yes. Call ahead with your crew's arrival schedule and we'll coordinate adjacent sites so everyone ends up together. We regularly host utility crews and EPC teams — we know how to handle rolling arrivals and staggered check-ins.
Do I need to bring my own RV, or do you have rentals?
Most workforce guests bring their own unit, but we also offer on-site RV rentals for crews without their own RV. Call 260-376-4887 for availability and weekly rental rates.
What if my project contract gets extended or wraps up early?
No problem. Contract extended? Call and we'll roll you into the next week or month. Project wrapped early? No pressure — we bill week-to-week or monthly and don't penalize you for flexibility.
