The trackers were selected in a partnership with Eco Engineering, LightEdison, and Source Renewables for their resilience under upstate New York’s extreme weather conditions.

Also on the rise: Intersect Power arranges $2.6B in financing for solar plus storage projects, Standard Solar announces 24 MW community solar in Maryland, and PS Oklahoma seeks solar and wind capacity.

Landfill sited solar capacity would nearly double Biden administration goals to grow community solar while increasing total U.S. solar power capacity by about 58%.

A total of nine projects will benefit more than 5,000 Maryland households through community solar subscriptions.

The 6 MW project outside of Washington, D.C., will include a pair of 2 MW arrays set aside to serve low and moderate-income residents.

Also on the rise: Rooftop solar fires are a real and growing risk, A-SMACC says it could refile anti-dumping tariff petitions, and five New England colleges now are powered by solar under a novel PPA arrangement.

Researchers from Yale found that parking lots across Connecticut could host 7 GW of solar capacity and produce 9,000 GWh of electricity in their first year of operation.

The projects include 6.6 MW in capacity and are the third and fourth acquired by Greenbacker from ReneSola in Maine this year.

Rapidly falling price of solar panels has created an impetus for the construction of solar fields, which is often perceived as competing with crop production.

The 6.3 MW installation, developed via a joint venture with Osaka Gas USA, will serve roughly 850 households and small businesses across Maine.
