SolarBank Advances New York Solar Project with American-Made Panels
SolarBank Corporation is making significant progress on its 2.9 MW DC ground-mount solar power project in Gainesville, New York. Known as the Silver Springs project, this initiative will utilize “Made in America” solar panels as part of a larger $49.8 million deal with Qcells to develop four projects using domestically manufactured panels, strengthening the nation’s renewable energy infrastructure. For more context on the solar industry, you might find this overview of American solar panel manufacturers insightful.
Having successfully completed its Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review (CESIR), the Silver Springs project is now advancing to the site permitting phase. This key milestone brings it closer to becoming an operational community solar project, designed to supply clean energy to the local grid and power up to 340 homes. The project is also positioned to leverage incentives from the NYSERDA NY-Sun Program, supporting New York’s ambitious renewable energy goals.
