• $130 million funding led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 boosts total investment beyond $200 million.
• Advanced robotics and AI platform significantly reduce solar plant construction costs and timelines.
• Funding supports rapid scale-up of automated Terafab™ assembly line, enhancing productivity and safety.

Terabase Energy, a pioneer in digital and automation technologies for utility-scale solar, secured a $130 million Series C funding round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, joined by strategic investors.

This investment supports Terabase’s drive to expedite the rollout of large-scale solar projects amid rising global energy demand.

“SoftBank Vision Fund’s investment reflects our shared commitment to leveraging advanced technology to drive the future of renewable energy,” said Matt Campbell, CEO of Terabase. “This funding validates our mission and provides the resources to scale our platform, paving the way for the terawatt era of solar.”

Terabase’s groundbreaking Terafab™ platform integrates robotics, AI, and digital technologies. Having successfully installed 40 megawatts of capacity across U.S. commercial projects, the next-generation Terafab™ aims to deploy hundreds of megawatts by 2026, doubling productivity and eliminating heavy manual labor.

“The surge in energy demand, particularly from AI data centers, underscores the urgency of scalable, sustainable solutions,” noted Kentaro Matsui, Managing Partner at SoftBank Global Advisers. “Terabase’s innovative approach to digitalizing and automating solar power plant deployment positions it as a leader in this transition. We’re pleased to support this vision as Terabase redefines how the world builds renewable energy infrastructure.”

With improved economics of battery storage making solar viable 24/7, and surging data center energy needs, utility-scale solar is now the fastest and most cost-effective new power generation method.

Terabase’s solutions, including Terafab™, PlantPredict solar modeling software, and the Construct project management platform, have already facilitated over 12 gigawatts of projects.

This latest funding positions Terabase to accelerate deployment at scale, transforming the construction and operation of utility-scale solar power worldwide.
