Pineapple Energy's Subsidiary SUNation Secures 1.95-Megawatt Solar Project in New York - SolarQuarter

Pineapple Energy Inc. (Pineapple), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power solutions for households and small businesses, announced today that its New York-based subsidiary, SUNation, has signed a 1.95-megawatt solar project. SUNation is set to commence work on this large-scale commercial installation in early July.

The project, to be installed on a large industrial building in New York, will feature an expedited installation process. The developer, with over 200 MW of energy in their projected renewables pipeline nationally, selected SUNation due to their extensive interconnection knowledge in the State of New York and their proven track record of delivering projects on time and within budget.

“Projects of this size and complexity can take years to develop. This project went from first contact to execution in a matter of months. This developer knew exactly what they wanted and who they wanted to work with. Congratulations to my SUNation Commercial and Industrial team for the herculean effort to meet the requirements of this project,” said Scott Maskin, Interim CEO of Pineapple Energy and SUNation Founder.

State of Play

Declining costs and government encouragement have resulted in a rapid increase in solar energy production in the United States over the past 10 years, although solar’s share remains small: 1.6 percent of all electricity generation in 2018. That rapid growth is projected to continue.
