Most C&I projects don’t fail at any single stage. Instead, they falter in the handoffs between them: the financing assumption that doesn’t survive engineering, the interconnection surprise that resets the schedule, the procurement lead time that blows the in-service date, the commissioning gap that delays revenue. 

This session walks one C&I solar-plus-storage project end to end, from site control through financing, permitting, engineering, procurement, and commissioning, focused on the seams where projects derail and how experienced teams keep the sequence intact. 

Anchored by practitioners who own C&I projects across their full lifecycle, not single-stage specialists, the session maps where timelines slip, where risk gets transferred, and how concept-stage decisions determine on-time commissioning. Attendees leave with a stage-by-stage view of the C&I delivery gauntlet and its handoff failure points, so they can spot breakpoints in their own pipeline before they become schedule-killers.
