Scaling Clean Episode 47: Nextracker and Doral Renewables

This episode of Scaling Clean is a first on two fronts. We’ve interviewed not one, but two guests, and captured it all on video. I sat down with Nextracker founder and CEO Dan Shugar and Doral Renewables CEO Nick Cohen to hear the story behind Mammoth Solar, America’s largest solar project, and how it’s fueling prosperity in the heart of Indiana.

The project’s name comes from a woolly mammoth whose bones were discovered in the field next to the site, and are now on display at the Smithsonian. Dan and Nick share how they made it a priority to work directly with landowners and the community while introducing agrivoltaics. Nick emphasized the importance of protecting landowner rights, and Dan highlights how local steel manufacturing is essential to Mammoth’s long-term impact.
