Standard Solar Year in Review - 2022
Strategic Solutions with Long-Term Benefits
Whether you’re working on a complex multi-site portfolio, looking for help developing environmental impact solutions, need funding or have a project that’s ready for acquisition, we’re here to simplify the funding and development process while strengthening every aspect of your solar PV project through every phase of its lifecycle.
We are extremely satisfied with this new facility and how it will provide better service to our southern territory members. Having a building powered 100% with solar energy is something we’re proud of – and we couldn’t have done it without Standard Solar’s guidance every step of the way.
Olin Davis
Choptank Electric
This project provides economic benefit to the landowner, operator and community while harnessing clean renewable energy. We have been using our own solar energy in our operation since 2014 and felt this was an excellent opportunity to diversify our income.

We are excited to pioneer these innovative solar projects through the use of Standard Solar’s Power Purchase Agreement, enabling LEUSD to reduce its carbon footprint with a zero cost to district solution and enjoy the savings on the energy procurement for the next 25 years.
Dr. Doug Kimberly
Superintendent, LEUSD
We are thrilled to see the project come to fruition, despite numerous permitting and interconnection challenges, and begin conveying benefits to the District and Town of Plymouth. The Acton Water District team have been fantastic partners on the project and have provided ample support in ensuring it’s a successful endeavor. We’re appreciative to have a reputable partner in Standard Solar as the long-term owner of the site.
Peter Bay
Associate Director, Business Development for EDF Renewables
Former industrial sites are ideal for solar energy development. Our partnership with Standard Solar on the Fort Fairfield project will provide a model that can be followed throughout Maine and around the U.S., showing how to successfully transition industrial sites with limited potential into a solar farm that will save money for local businesses and benefit the environment.
Glenn Walker
Acadia Energy
Strategic development of solar electricity production can help meet electricity demands and combat climate change – an imperative we must immediately confront. I appreciated the opportunity to see cutting-edge technology at work at the Standard Solar solar array in Union Bridge and applaud the company’s role in helping to power Maryland’s electricity grid and innovation economy.
U.S. Senator Ben Cardin
Chair of the Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure
Clean energy is an essential part of our district-wide sustainability efforts. Our partnership with Standard Solar will help reduce our carbon footprint while saving the district millions of dollars over the 25-year agreement.
Alan Reising
Long Beach Unified School District Business Services Administrator
This project represents the culmination of a decade-long vision to build out rooftop solar across the Caltech campus. Our campus in Pasadena now hosts 2 megawatts of onsite solar capacity, furthering our efforts towards carbon reduction and eventually carbon neutrality.
Maximilian Christman
Caltech Sustainability Manager
This is our second solar array. Solar makes economic sense for Goodwill, and it aligns with our value of stewardship. The new array will save us money and be a long-term solution to rising energy costs. The money saved will provide for more opportunities for future investment in people, programs and new ventures which will strengthen our mission and the communities we serve. We are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of Goodwill.
Jackson Green
Goodwill Industries of the Valleys’ Chief Financial & Compliance Officer
Community solar is critical to increasing access to the benefits of solar. Our partnership with Standard Solar and OneEnergy Renewables means that thousands of Marylanders are able to save money while supporting solar here in the state. Community solar and other climate-tech solutions empower consumers to be the driving force behind decarbonization, and CleanChoice is proud to be moving us toward a more sustainable future.
Tom Matzzie
CEO of CCE
Incorporating solar energy is cost-effective and helps the environment while reducing energy expenses and funneling savings to resources that directly impact student success.
Dr. Jim Thornton.
Division Superintendent, Isle of Wight County Schools
The driving force behind his vision was for everyone to have easy access to solar energy without solar panels, whether it is a business, people in homes, or even people renting apartments. He was so glad that this project was going to succeed. I would like to thank the Town of York, SolarPark Energy’s civil engineer Dave Ingalls of Ingalls and Associates, and Daryl Pilon and his team at Standard Solar for their guidance in bringing this project over the finish line after the loss of Tommy, who worked relentlessly throughout his last days.
Anne Cassidy
Managing Partner of SolarPark Energy
This project shows that saving tax-payer money and protecting the environment do not have to be mutually exclusive. I am proud that Anne Arundel County is a leader in efforts to create affordable clean energy solutions where possible.
Steuart Pittman
Anne Arundel County Executive
We are very happy to get the chance to collaborate with Standard Solar, one of the fastest growing developers and operators of community solar. We are committed to developing similar systems to expand broader customer access for local, clean, and affordable community solar.
Linhui Sui
President of Trina Solar International Solar System Business Unit (“Trina ISBU”)
We will be paying the same for the power coming out of those solar arrays in 2050 as we do today. It’s a great investment for the University and it allows us to get solar on our buildings at a very low financial risk.
Carol Dollard
Energy Engineer for CSU
