A utility solar build usually starts with surveyors, fencing and civil crews, then pile drivers, racking and module crews, then electricians for collection lines, inverters and the substation. Battery projects add foundation, container and high voltage crews. Wind repowers and uprates bring turbine techs and crane crews. That is general industry practice, not a schedule for any one project here. Ask your employer for the real start date and peak headcount for your scope.
Inez Spring is in Eastland, at I-20 Exit 343. Rising Star is about 30 miles south, plan on about 35 minutes (est.). Cisco, Ranger, Carbon and Gorman are 10 to 35 minutes (est.) depending on the site. 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.

No start dates are published. The queue gives target operation dates from December 2027 to November 2029, so construction would come before those dates if the projects go ahead.
