SunVest

Utility ComEd and developer SunVest have energised a community solar farm of nearly 8 MW-dc in Illinois. The project will allow local residents and businesses to subscribe and receive credits on their electricity bills for power generated off-site, expanding access to solar without rooftop installations. It adds to Illinois' growing community solar capacity under state clean energy programmes.

ComEd and SunVest have energized a community solar array of nearly 8 megawatts at DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport in Illinois. The direct current project will supply solar power to local subscribers, with ComEd handling interconnection to the grid. The companies marked the milestone as a step in expanding community solar access and renewable generation in northern Illinois.
