Rapidly Increasing Demand for Solar Energy Booming Creating a Multi-Billion Dollar Market Opportunity

Palm Beach, FL – September 20, 2023 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Electricity demand worldwide is growing rapidly because of economic progress and population growth. The rising level of lifestyle and the expansion of infrastructure are driving up demand for power generation. As a result, most countries are building new solar plants or upgrading old ones to fulfil the rising demand. This is projected to augment demand for ground-mounted solar, propelling the market forward even faster.  In the future electricity generation through solar energy will increase, which will boost the need for new facilities related to solar energy projects, this will create an opportunity for the ground mounted solar market. A report from Industry ARC projects that the global ground mounted solar market size is forecast to reach $9.65 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 9.56% during 2022-2027.   The report said: “The solar panels mounted on the ground are a fixed tilt solar system that can be readily installed in a big yard or field. Furthermore, the panels are identical to pole-mounted solar panels, except that they are placed directly on the ground rather than being elevated on poles. Materials such as crystalline silicon, metals, and more are widely utilized in ground-mounted solar panels because these materials have higher efficiencies, which make them ideal for ground-mounted solar application. A solar panel system equipped with a single-axis solar tracker witness a performance gain from 10% to 30%. Apart from this, ground mounted solar market is primarily driven by the growth of the utility industry. Also, the growth from the commercial sector for ground-mounted solar is further boosting the demand for ground-mounted solar, thereby, propelling the ground mounted solar industry growth during the forecast period (2027).  Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include:  SolarBank Corporation (OTCQX: SUUNF) (CSE: SUNN), Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Altus Power, Inc., (NYSE: AMPS), Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN), Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN).

 

Industry ARC continued: “The crystalline silicon segment is analysed to grow with the highest CAGR of 8.96% in the global ground mounted solar market during 2022-2027. Crystalline silicon is a widely employed material in ground-mounted solar panels because silicon cell outperforms any other mass-produced single-junction device in terms of efficiency. Since fewer solar cells need to be manufactured and installed for a given output, higher efficiencies lower the cost of the final installation. Moreover, when compared with other types of panel material such as metal frames, crystalline silicon has higher conversion efficiency. Apart from this, when comparing the types of crystalline silicon, polycrystalline and monocrystalline solar panels, both are cost-effective solutions for power generation; however, monocrystalline is more effective when temperature changes, whilst polycrystalline is less effective. Thus, due to these factors, the demand for crystalline silicon is increasing for the application of ground mounted solar, benefiting the ground mounted solar market growth.”

 

SolarBank Completes Sale of 21MW Community Solar Sites in Upstate New York to Honeywell International –

 

  • Total transaction value is US$41 million
  • Projects are construction ready and SolarBank will act as EPC Contractor
  • Expected to operate as community solar sites, selling credits to subscribers
  • Expected to be eligible to participate in the NYSUN program to receive NYSERDA incentives

 

SolarBank Corporation (OTCQX: SUUNF) (CSE: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) (“SolarBank” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Honeywell International (“Honeywell”) has acquired the Company’s proposed 21 MW DC ground-mount solar power projects that are under development in upstate New York (the “Projects”). The Projects are known as SB 13-1, SB 13-2 and SB-14.

 

SolarBank originated the sites in upstate New York and the Projects have received positive interconnection results via a completed Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review (CESIR). The Projects will be developed as three separate 7 MW DC solar power projects. The Company will now continue to build the Projects for Honeywell to commercial operation via an engineering, procurement, and construction (“EPC”) agreement. The sale of the Projects and EPC agreement have a total value of approximately US$41 million. The Company also expects that it will retain an operations and maintenance contract for the Projects following the completion of construction.

 

“The relationship between Honeywell and SolarBank continues to grow and these projects represent the largest to date that will be constructed by the Company for Honeywell,” said Dr. Richard Lu , Chief Executive Officer at SolarBank. “We look forward to partnering and supporting the transition away from fossil fuels while reducing impacts to the electrical grid and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.”

 

Once completed, the Projects will be operated as community solar projects. Community solar is a group of solar panels with access to the local electricity grid. Once the panels are turned on and generating electricity, clean energy from the site feeds into the local power grid. Depending on the size and number of panels the project has, dozens or even hundreds of renters and homeowners can save money from the electricity that is generated by the project. By subscribing to a project, a homeowner earns credits on their electric bill every month from their portion of the solar that’s generated by the project, accessing the benefits of solar without installing panels on their home. The Projects are expected to be eligible for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) NY-Sun Program.

 

The Company previously announced that it had entered into a funding arrangement with Honeywell whereby Honeywell provided funding for deposits/advance payments by the Company’s subsidiaries that currently own the Projects (the “Project Companies”) to vendors in furtherance of the development of the Projects. These advances, which total approximately US$2.668 million, will be offset against the money due from Honeywell to the Company under the definitive agreements for the Projects.  CONTINUED…  Read this and more news for SolarBank Corporation at:  https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-sunn/
