Visited a new solar farm near Austin last Wednesday and noticed something odd

I stopped by a 12-acre solar installation outside Austin last week and almost every contractor there was still using paper blueprints and manual tracking sheets. For a project that size, I expected to see more people using apps or cloud-based tools on their phones. Am I missing something or is the industry just slow to change? Has anyone else run into this at newer sites?

Bet half those paper sheets are already coffee stained and unreadable by lunch.

Didn't I read somewhere that paper files actually degrade faster than digital ones in humid offices?
