Clean Capital: Community Solar Growth and October 2026 Industry Events

Clean Capital operates in the community solar sector and has been in business for roughly a decade, according to the company. It began by purchasing operating assets and collaborating with a group of investors over time. The company is now backed by Manulife Investment Company. As an independent power producer, Clean Capital acquires, develops and owns assets across 26 markets.

The source material does not specify the full list of markets, the size of the asset portfolio, or financial terms of the Manulife backing.

The same source lists a series of industry events scheduled for October 2026. A virtual multi-day event hosted by pv magazine USA covers U.S. solar and energy storage, including domestic manufacturing, distributed energy and the expanding role of solar-plus-storage in serving power demand. A pv magazine session is set to return to NetZero Milan as a knowledge partner, organizing and moderating a two-hour conference on the changing global solar supply chain. Another expert session will examine quality, technology and the difficulties of scaling India’s solar industry. Tickets for these events are available at a discounted rate through pv magazine.

The scheduled sessions include one on Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 11:30 am to 12:30 am CEST, and another on Monday, October 12, 2026, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am CEST, both listed for Berlin, Paris and Madrid.
