Summit Ridge Energy (SRE), a commercial solar contractor from Arlington, Virginia, will soon complete construction of a 17-MW community solar portfolio of seven projects — at least, they’re considered that by interconnection standards — built across four different rooftops in Maryland.
All four sites are commercial buildings owned by industrial real estate operator LBA Logistics. Working with Black Bear Energy, an agency that represents institutional property owners wishing to build on-site renewables, LBA started the process of adding solar PV to its buildings in 2019.
Excerpt: “The cool thing about these rooftop projects is you’re building them in communities that we’re serving. You look around and you see there’s not only other buildings, but houses and businesses and restaurants,” Greenberg [SVP of Business Development at Summit Ridge Energy] said. “It’s up on an existing roof, and we’re able to benefit the people of that community economically and environmentally. It goes back to why we started Summit Ridge Energy.”
