Case Study: Sunlight General Capital boosts community solar output on uneven terrain with SolarEdge

Power to the People SolarEdge Overcomes Uneven Terrain to Help 700+ Go Solar

Sunlight General Capital, a solar energy development and financing company, faced the challenge of building a viable community solar project on a 12-acre site with uneven terrain in Rhode Island. The company needed a flexible solution that would maximize energy production and lower ongoing operational costs for the long-term economic success of the initiative. They turned to SolarEdge to meet these goals.

By implementing SolarEdge power optimizers and inverters, the installation gained the design flexibility to overcome the difficult landscape. The solution provided real-time module-level monitoring, which streamlined maintenance and ensured maximum energy harvest. The project now generates significant solar power, providing substantial cost savings to local community subscribers and reducing CO₂ emissions by the equivalent of over 3.4 million pounds of coal burned.
