Press Releases & Navisun in the News
In Danville, Virginia, a local tobacco farmer sought to generate additional revenue from his property, which he had placed into a land trust for future generations. His goal was to do so without disrupting farming operations or engaging in major development.
Long-term partnership begins with the construction of five distributed generation projects for commercial, industrial, and residential customers throughout the Northeast and Midwest.
Navisun is pleased to announce that Jason Spreyer has joined the team as CEO. With over two decades of experience in the energy industry, his leadership and expertise will help to strengthen Navisun’s existing partnerships and guide the company’s expansion into new markets.
From increasing crop production and solar panel efficiency, to providing new land prospects in the face of dwindling solar project sites, to creating a sustainable, long-term food supply, there are myriad reasons why agrivoltaics, or the colocation of solar generating facilities with productive agricultural land, has grown rapidly from about 5 MW of installed solar capacity in 2012 to nearly 3 GW in 2020.
Regular readers of Solar Builder are probably familiar with the Rockport Maces Pond project, our Utility-Scale Project of the Year, which we featured in the Spring issue in a section on agrivoltaics/dual-use solar. Heck, maybe that’s why you all voted for it.
Navisun’s award-winning 4.9 MW Beverly Community Solar Project converted a landfill in Beverly, Massachusetts into a clean energy generating field
Built on a former landfill in Linden, New Jersey, Navisun’s Linden Hawk Rise community solar project, part of New Jersey’s Community Solar Energy Pilot Program, is nearly complete. The 4.5 MW project is converting previously unusable land into a productive solar farm which will bring affordable access to clean energy to about 800 residents, over half of whom are low-and moderate-income (LMI).
