SolarKal, the solar advisory partner for commercial real estate clients, has achieved success in two of the country’s most competitive community solar markets, securing acceptance for nearly 18 MW of projects in New Jersey and Illinois – enough renewable capacity to power about 4,000 homes each year.
Acceptance of the dozen commercial solar projects, which range in size from 500 kW to 3.5 MW, adds a total of 9 MW of renewable solar energy to New Jersey citizens who cannot otherwise access solar savings. Community solar subscribers will receive a discount on their utility bill for the duration of their subscriptions, while participating property owners receive steady, dependable roof lease revenue.
In the latest round of New Jersey’s Permanent Community Solar Energy Program, developers submitted over 650 MW of projects competing for just 241 MW in available capacity. SolarKal’s clients achieved a 90% acceptance rate and achieved early approvals, including interconnection.
“Our approach is all about early preparation—choosing the right vendors and securing the interconnection approvals required for program acceptance. These exceptional success rates show our strategy truly works, even in highly competitive markets,” Yaniv Kalish, CEO of SolarKal said.
New Jersey is planning its next community solar round this fall.
