Sol Systems, a Washington D.C.-based solar energy developer, has completed the 342 MW Eldorado Solar Project in Saline County, Illinois. The project was constructed by SOLV Energy, a US-based engineering and construction firm, using Nextracker’s advanced solar tracking systems manufactured primarily with domestic steel. It has integrated an agrivoltaics initiative with American Farmland Trust, a US-based farmland conservation organization, involving Kernza grain cultivation beneath solar panels for agricultural research. The project also established long-term community funding for six local organizations, including Eldorado High School and Food Works of Southern Illinois. Earlier this year, Sol Systems had secured $675 million in financing for solar and storage development across the US, further expanding its capacity to deliver large-scale projects. With the Eldorado project, Sol Systems has expanded its clean energy portfolio to 7 GW across 38 states, integrating storage and grid resiliency solutions.
