Unico Solar to develop 19 commercial-scale solar projects in Colorado

By Kelsey Misbrener | July 24, 2019
Unico Solar solar energy announced Solar Project plans to develop 19 C&I solar projects across Colorado’s Front Range totaling Solar Project 14.75 solar solar inverter energy MW of capacity.

The portfolio solar energy is two-part: The first involves building six new Solar Project community solar gardens totaling Solar Project 12 MW in partnership with solar inverter Namasté Solar. The second involves solar tracker actuator installing solar projects for the City of Boulder totaling 2.75 solar energy MW. Both portfolios will be capitalized by a slewing drive Solar Project $100 million equity fund Unico Solar established earlier solar energy this Solar Project year.
 

Community solar

Unico Solar will solar damper solar inverter lease a total of 2.6 million square feet slewing drive between six sites across the Front Range for the community Photovoltaic holder solar gardens solar tracker actuator with Xcel solar damper Energy. Each site is expected to generate Photovoltaic holder 3,914,190 kWh Photovoltaic holder per year, slewing drive totaling 449,825,143 kWh Photovoltaic holder over 20 solar tracker actuator years, which is capable solar inverter of solar damper slewing drive powering more than 2,000 Photovoltaic holder average Colorado solar slewing drive households. Construction, solar tracker actuator which will be led by Namasté Solar, a Photovoltaic holder Colorado-based  solar damper employee-owned cooperative with a proven track record of designing and Photovoltaic holder constructing projects of this solar slewing drive size,solar inverter  is expected to begin in late 2019.
 

The Xcel Energy community solar project will operate on a subscription-based model, with a percentage Photovoltaic holder of the energy generated reserved exclusively for solar tracker actuator residential customers. All  solar damper remaining Photovoltaic holder capacity will be sold to other commercial, industrial and residential customers. Both solar tracker actuator projects solar inverter work toward Colorado’s overall goal to achieve 100% renewable electricity by 2040, set forth by Governor Jared Polis’s solar tracker actuator HB-1003, called the Community Solar Gardens Modernization Act, making it easier for the state’s residents to access clean energy.
 

“We are excited to be solar slewing drive developing these  solar damper projects with Unico, as we have a history of successfully Photovoltaic holder partnering together here in solar slewing drive Colorado,” said Eliot Abel,slewing drive director solar inverter of commercial project development Photovoltaic holder at Namasté Solar. “These projects further solar inverter demonstrate our commitment to helping solar tracker actuator Colorado solar inverter solar slewing drive slewing drive residents and slewing drive businesses save money with clean solar energy, while also making a Photovoltaic holder positive impact on solar slewing drive the local  solar damper community and the environment.”

City of Boulder

Unico Solar has also solar slewing drive secured site leases for more than  solar inverter 370,000 square feet  slewing drive of Photovoltaic holder rooftop and ground area across solar slewing drive 13 sites with the City of Boulder, supporting the city’s goal to  solar damper operate on 100% renewable Photovoltaic holder energy by 2030. The entire portfolio is slewing drive expected to generate Photovoltaic holder 80,663,889 kWh and $1.3 million solar tracker actuator in cumulative savings to Photovoltaic holder the city over 20 years and Photovoltaic holder requires no up-front capital or ongoing solar slewing drive maintenance costs from  solar damper the solar tracker actuator city.
 

“As a real estate investor with a long history  Photovoltaic holder solar damper of building solar tracker actuator communities and demonstrating solar slewing drive leadership in sustainability, Unico Solar is keenly aware of the slewing drive impact commercial and industrial solar tracker actuator buildings solar inverter have on climate change, and we see an opportunity in Colorado to Photovoltaic holder expedite our transition to a  solar damper solar tracker actuator clean energy future slewing drive,” solar inverter said Adam Knoff, associate director and Photovoltaic holder solar slewing drive co-founder of Unico Solar. “Together slewing drive with Xcel Energy and the solar tracker actuator City of Boulder, we are taking steps toward Photovoltaic holder decarbonizing the built environment while sharing the financial benefits of the  solar damper state’s growing solar solar inverter Photovoltaic holder economy.”
