Black Rock City's DPW for solar is a really interesting idea! Temporary housing is definitely used at times for more remote projects, but it's more expensive than just booking out all the local hotels (of course, once you've saturated hotel rooms you might not have the option).

Fortunately the labor needs are typically predictable, with each step you mentioned happening in parallel across a site spanning 100's or 1000's of acres. One of the main reasons that larger sites are particularly appealing for us is that the work done by our robots is continuously in demand somewhere, as opposed to a small site which might move in more discrete stages and have the rapidly changing needs you mentioned.
