Solar builds bring civil crews, pile drivers, racking and module installers and electricians; battery projects add foundation, container and high voltage crews. That is general industry practice, not a schedule for these projects. With targets in late 2027, the signed solar projects would likely mobilize in 2027 if they stay on track; ask your employer for the real date.
Inez Spring is one minute off I-20 at Exit 343 in Eastland. The city of Comanche is about 40 miles south, plan on about 45 minutes (est.). Gorman and De Leon are closer, about 25 to 35 minutes (est.). Exact project sites are not public, so drive your route once before you commit.
A back-in site is $500 a month. A pull-through up to 100 feet is $650 a month. Electric is metered at your own pedestal at 17 cents per kWh and billed on top, so the honest total is site rent plus your own meter. We do not estimate the electric, because your rig and the season decide it. The deposit is $200 per site and refundable. Terms are month to month, so a crew can stay for one phase or the whole job.
If your company pays per diem, compare the monthly total with your lodging allowance. More on that in per diem RV living in Texas.
Send your start date, how long and how many rigs. The office replies the same day with what is open and a per-month total, electric billed on the meter.
