Nautilus Solar Energy completes acquisition of community solar portfolio from Summit Ridge Energy, SynerGen Solar

Nautilus Solar Energy has completed the acquisition of a 6.6 MW community solar development portfolio from co-developers Summit Ridge Energy a developer and financier of community solar plants across the United States, and SynerGen Solar.  Comprised of four separate projects co-located on the same landfill in Prince George’s County, this project is believed to be one of the largest all residential community solar projects developed to date and is qualified under Maryland’s community solar pilot program in the Pepco service territory. 

Utilizing its full-service platform, Nautilus will be responsible for the project management, long-term asset management and maintenance services for these projects. The projects will be owned by an affiliate of Virgo Investment Group, which is also a minority shareholder of Nautilus Solar Energy.  The energy generated by the projects will directly benefit qualified residential off-takers who are situated within Pepco Maryland’s service territory. This will provide energy cost savings while also advancing Maryland’s overall renewable energy goals. A limited number of residential subscriptions to the system are currently available through a partnership with Neighborhood Sun.

 The portfolio is expected to be completed by year-end and energized in early 2019.
