This edition of Projects weekly Highlights Solriver and DC Green Bank Breaking Ground on new solar projects in North Carolina and Washington, DC, while the new EVladers influence the community of Davis California. Read on to find out more about these projects in Solar Project News.
The construction has started SOLRIVER CAPITAL‘S 7 MW Longleaf Solar Project in Davie County, North Carolina. The investment company for renewable energy established in Denver has taken over the project as a developmentactive way, ended the remaining development work and brought the project to be noted (NTP). The project will be owned by and will be operated as part of the larger Carolinas portfolio of the company.
“When we bought the Longleaf project, it was not yet completely ready to build,” said Riley Sullivan, Executive VP at Solriver Capital. “Fortunately we have a good playbook to complete the development and have projects built.”
Cool factor: The project uses Safe-Harbor panels that were purchased and delivered in 2023. Being eligible for Safe Harbor, these panels are stored in a warehouse in North Carolina and were deployed in this project, as well as several other projects that have been built in the past two years. Panel deliveries have recently been completed on the Longleaf site.
Once ready, Solriver will have brought a dozen solar projects online in the Carolinas, a total of around 100 MW -generating capacity. Longleaf -Zonne -Zon is expected to become operational in Q2 2025. The company is also building the Williams project, a 6 MW installation that is expected to be online as Longleaf around the same time.
