“The Town of Boxborough is supportive of solar energy system projects and the solar array at 1414 Massachusetts Ave. recently constructed by Green Street Power Partners. Their team is the latest example of how the Town is working with private entities to provide renewable energy options for its residents and businesses” said Adam L. Duchesneau, town planner for Boxborough. “Since there are limited solar energy system opportunities on municipal land, we hope this project encourages other land owners to explore ways in which they can make their properties more sustainable or even provide direct energy benefits to others within the community.”

The company behind the floating solar photovoltaics projects is Sungrow Power Supply, a 22-year-old Chinese company that specializes in alternative energy hardware and services. Sungrow (CH:300274) trades on the Shenzhen stock exchange and claims to be the largest solar photovoltaic inverter manufacturer in China, with a North American subsidiary in Ontario. The company recently pushed into Japan, which first created the market and is reportedly home to the most floating solar power plants, though most aren’t much bigger than a koi pond. Electronics and ceramics manufacturer Kyocera (JP:6971) is considered the leader in floating solar farm systems in Japan.

The $100 million in state government subsidies has been matched by up to $100 million in finance from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation which provides low-interest loans for the balance of the battery and new solar in cases when the upfront costs of the home battery system installations are not met by the SA government subsidy. The loans are delivered through peer-to-peer lender RateSetter, which was named the exclusive administrator of the government’s battery program.
