Borrego Solar Systems, Inc., one of the largest commercial-scale solar providers and the No.2 commercial EPC in the U.S., announced a record year in which it saw a 40% increase in total MW installed from 2013. The total installations from 2014 represent 30% of the company's total installed capacity over its 35 years in operation.
"The fact that we were able to achieve 40% year-over-year growth in 2014 is a testament to the strong team we've built and the quality customers we've partnered with in the government, education, technology, and waste management sectors," said Mike Hall, CEO at Borrego Solar. "Customers choose us because we're solar veterans with a 35-year track record in the business. Our sophisticated approach to engineering, successful construction execution and commitment to only procuring the highest quality materials in the market, make us the high-value low-risk solution our customers and financing partners want."
Borrego completed nearly 15 MW (DC) of installations that are feeding solar energy to municipalities in Massachusetts, representing enough energy to power approximately 1,730 homes annually. The company currently has 200 MW (DC) of projects under contract and in various stages of development across the country, including:
- New Hampshire's largest solar project, a 944 kW (DC) system in Peterborough on the site of the town's waste water treatment plant
- 8.5 MW (DC) in school projects for Thompkins Community College and Houghton College in New York, and Newport Mesa School District in Southern California
- 3.3 MW (DC) project on San Diego International Airport's Terminal 2, the first LEED Platinum certified commercial airport terminal in the world
In addition, Borrego made a strong entry into the New York market this year with 33 MW (DC) of installations beginning construction, including 27.25 MW (DC) of projects under PSEG-LI's Feed-in-Tariff program in New York.
