Radiance Solar & SolAmerica commenced 2.86 MW PV project in Illinois

US-based Radiance Solar and SolAmerica Energy have launched the Stephenson S1 Solar Project, a 2.86 MW community solar project in Freeport, Illinois. This project marks the beginning of a partnership between the two companies. It is Radiance Solar’s 26th community solar project in Illinois. The project will use American-made panels from First Solar to supply power to the local grid. It is expected to produce 4,155 MWh of electricity each year. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of removing 463 cars from the road or powering 234 homes. Both companies aim to increase renewable energy access in Illinois and support state and national clean energy goals.
