Standard Solar, Inc., is building 38 MW of community distributed generation (or community solar) projects in New York through the acquisition of six projects from US Light Energy (formerly Solitude Solar), a community solar development company.
The community solar projects will be constructed on land parcels totaling approximately 180 acres and will provide subscribers with the benefits of solar energy without the cost of equipment, installation and maintenance, directly contributing to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s mandate to achieve 50% of the state’s electricity from renewable energy by 2030.
The six project sites, including one re-purposed landfill, are in the towns of Hunter, Clifton Park, Turin, Croghan and Denmark. They are located in two different utility territories across three different NYISO Load Zones. The power generated by the arrays will provide cost-saving solar electricity to both residential and small commercial subscribers.
Overall, the solar farms will consist of approximately 111,765 solar panels, annually generating approximately 46,725,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity. This output is sufficient to power 3,775 typical American homes for a year. The projects also offset the production of about 76,600,000 pounds of carbon dioxide annually, equal to the carbon sequestered annually by a 40,958-acre U.S. fore
