Solect Energy Achieves 20MW in Commercial Solar Projects

Solect Energy, a Massachusetts (US)-based full-service solar PV project developer and installer serving business and institutional customers, has achieved 20 megawatts (MW) of solar power through more than 150 completed commercial-scale projects. 

Among the 150 completed projects contributing to Solect’s growth is Joseph P. Sullivan & Co., Inc. (JP Sullivan), a family-owned packer and shipper of local apples grown in New England and Eastern New York. Solect recently completed a 260 kilowatt (kW) solar energy system on the roofs of JP Sullivan’s Ayer apple packing and storage facilities. This project, combined with an earlier 99.5 kW solar project with Solect atop its office building, will cover more than 75 percent of the company’s electricity use.

In addition to the economic benefits, there are significant environmental benefits to Massachusetts associated with Solect’s installation 20 MW of commercial-scale solar systems including greenhouse gas reductions that are equivalent to taking over 3,200 cars off the road or reducing over 5,500 tons of waste sent to a landfill.Â
