Summit Ridge Energy Now Has 42 Community Solar Farms In Operation In Illinois

Utility-scale solar is great — it provides super-low-cost electricity from sunshine. Rooftop solar is great — it democratizes the energy system. Community solar is a special kind of solar, though — it helps to democratize the energy system even deeper by opening up solar projects to renters and people without adequate roofs while also benefiting a bit from economies of scale that come with larger systems. One leader in that space is Summit Ridge Energy.

Summit Ridge Energy put new 25 community solar farms online in Illinois in the 4th quarter of 2020, bringing the company’s community solar farm total in Illinois to 42. Across the USA, Summit Ridge Energy has more than 90 community solar farms in operation. Another 25 community solar projects should be under construction by the 2nd quarter of 2021.
