340 kW – East Longmeadow, MA

This 340.47 kW rooftop and parking canopy community solar system sits on a church in East Longmeadow, MA. The energy generated is sold to individual households in the community.

Community solar hosted by a church

This 340 kW system combines rooftop panels with a solar parking canopy on the church’s lot. Rather than serving the building alone, it operates as community solar: Plankton Energy owns and operates the array, local households subscribe to its output and receive credits on their utility bills, and the church hosts the system with no upfront cost.

What the host property gets

A canopy that shades the parking area, a new revenue stream from hosting the system, and none of the cost or upkeep of owning it. Plankton Energy handles development, construction, subscriber management, monitoring and maintenance for the life of the project.
