Castillo technique has been selected by Summit Ridge Energy to provide design and engineering services for an 82 MW portfolio of 26 community solar projects in Illinois.
As part of the Illinois Shines of Adjustable Block Program, each of the average 3 MW solar projects will use bifacial modules mounted on single-axis trackers. Some of these projects are expected to begin construction this quarter and are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
“We chose to partner with Castillo Engineering on this portfolio of projects because of their extensive community solar experience in Illinois, their project management office and their highly customized solutions,” said Pradeep Mohanraj, vice president of engineering from Summit Ridge Energy.
“Throughout our long-term relationship, Castillo Engineering has provided Summit Ridge and our EPC partners with critical feedback on design improvements, product selection and innovative value engineering ideas, among other deliverables, that enable us to build these projects on time and on budget.”
Together, Summit Ridge Energy and Castillo Engineering are expected to have a community solar portfolio in Illinois exceeding 500 MW by the end of this year.
