Sunshine on the horizon
The 2021 Year in Review
While we all wrap up work on our final solar installations of 2021, Sunwealth wants to express our gratitude for the people, projects, and partners that have inspired us this year.
It’s you—our local developer and installer partners—that have shown us that a better energy future is possible. Thank you!
2021 Photo Highlights
In Vermont, we partnered with our friends at SunCommon to finance and build a 450 kW roof-mounted project for the Winooski School District, on the roof of a building housing an elementary school, high school and the district’s administrative offices. The project will provide meaningful lease revenue and energy savings for the district, in a community where close to 30% of residents live below the poverty line.
A partner from Solar Design Associates inspects the installation at 186 Summer Street in Kingston, MA. At 718 kW, the system, which Sunwealth is financing and building in partnership with Lowell, MA-based NRGTree, is our largest rooftop installation to date.
In Franklin Township, New Jersey, our partners at Citrine Power and Pfister Energy put the final touches on the 680 kW carport at the Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima. One of the first low-income community solar projects in the state, it will provide discounted power to residents of Warren, Sussex, Morris, and Hunterdon counties.
New York City Housing Authority residents participating in a solar apprenticeship program install solar on the rooftops of Queensbridge Houses in Long Island City, NY. Sunwealth partnered with local installers and developers Sol Purpose, Venture Solar, and Bright Power to develop, finance, and build 2 MW of new solar capacity across the rooftops of 60+ New York City Housing Authority Buildings in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. These projects, featured by the U.S. Department of Energy as part of its Moment in the Sun series, will provide discounted energy for close to 500 low- and moderate-income New York households.
At University City Church in Tuscon, Arizona, Sunwealth partnered with Solar Gain and Sun Ray to install a 120 kW carport. The project will create 3.5 lifetime job years for local installers, while offering the church over $5,000 in year-one energy savings.
In a year with its own unique challenges, the Sunwealth team is as grateful as ever for you—our partners—who make our work so worthwhile.
Working together, our shared future is bright.
Wishing you and yours a heathy, peaceful, and prosperous 2022.
Marcel, Jacob, Brooklynn, Sean, Leanna, Marlon, Rachel, Cecelia, Liam, Jon and the rest of the Sunwealth team.
