🚚⚡Our construction management team successfully loaded, transported, and delivered main power transformers to our Cider solar project last week. These 400,000-pound giants traveled nearly 1,000 miles across the U.S. to their permanent home, where they will step up the voltage from the solar inverters to grid-ready levels at New York’s largest solar farm. #Greenbackerportfolio #EnergyTransitionInvesting #SustainableInfrastructure

Sunstone Credit has reached a major milestone - processing $1 billion in commercial solar loan applications on its platform! By offering flexible loan amounts and financing options, Sunstone has helped businesses of all sizes embrace solar power.
ONE BILLION DOLLARS! Sunstone is excited to announce that we have achieved $1 billion in commercial solar loan applications on our platform. The milestone was reached in August when a California-based business applied for $1 million of Sunstone financing to install a solar system with battery storage at its facility. “This is an incredible milestone for Sunstone Credit and truly a testament to how much sense solar makes for millions of businesses across the country that want to save money and exercise energy choice,” said Joshua Goldberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Sunstone Credit. “We are incredibly grateful to our customers, installer partners, investors and team members who have helped us get to this point. We are confident that the best is yet to come, both for Sunstone Credit and the broader commercial solar industry, and we appreciate everyone who has undertaken this journey with us thus far.” Despite current regulatory and macroeconomic headwinds, Sunstone’s milestone reflects the unstoppable momentum in commercial solar adoption nationwide, as more businesses seek energy solutions that deliver both economic and environmental benefits.

☀️Floating solar has untapped potential in the U.S., which Noria Energy is taking advantage of with its latest project in Golden, Colorado. This week, it debuted Aurea Solar, a 50 kW pilot project to provide renewable energy for The Consolidated Mutual Water Company (CMWC). The clean energy will help CMWC deliver clean, safe, and reliable water to over 100,000 customers in the greater Denver area. Aurea Solar was built with Noria’s newly developed and easy-to-deploy floating solar tracker technology, AquaPhi®, which will increase energy output by 10-20%. Congrats to the entire Noria team on the successful launch of this pilot project!
Another big milestone for our Noria Energy R&D ("N.E.R.D.") team and technology!! https://lnkd.in/g5UTK7dz
