Erthos has signed a framework agreement with Sky Community Solar for a 180 MW portfolio in Texas, with the projects under contract ranging in size from 9 MW to 18 MW and will be located near the state’s major population centers.
The company’s Earth Mount Solar aims to reinvent large-scale solar design, placing PV modules flat on the ground to reduce installation time and materials.
“We’ve all read the news stories about projects stalled or canceled due to community opposition, and we think communities are right to ask questions,” said Charles Pimentel, president of Erthos. “Solar energy has the potential to improve the lives of everyone on the planet, but it must be done in a way that harmonizes with the land and the people who live there.”
Construction of the first project is expected to begin this year and the entire portfolio is expected to be commercially operational by the end of 2026.
