News and Project Spotlights
Notable work includes the 2.8 MW solar canopy at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens, the 2.4 MW canopy at Owens Corning’s headquarters, fixed tilt systems at Kent State University, a solar tracker installation at the University of Dayton, large scale canopies for Chase Bank locations in Columbus and Westerville, and the 1.3 MW canopy at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita. This portfolio also contributed to earning a
2024 Solar Builder Project of the Year recognition.
Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens 2.8 mw Solar Canopy
Our work has been featured in national industry coverage, including Solar Builder’s 2024 Project of the Year for the 1 MW to 10 MW category. The Cincinnati Zoo’s 2.8 MW solar carport, installed with Melink Solar and Terrasmart, earned the award and was highlighted as the largest publicly accessible urban solar array in the country. The project’s scale, engineering complexity, and contribution to the Zoo’s net zero goals drew significant attention, alongside our broader portfolio of high visibility installations across commercial, institutional, and community sites.
Owens Corning Headquarters 2.4 mw Solar Canopy
Our Owens Corning headquarters canopy project in Toledo also received national industry attention. The 2.4 MW system, built above more than 900 parking spaces, was highlighted as one of the largest solar parking canopies in the Midwest at the time of completion. The installation supported Owens Corning’s expanded sustainability targets and delivered significant on site generation through roughly 8,000 photovoltaic panels. The project’s scale, engineering demands, and integration with a major corporate campus made it a notable showcase of our commercial canopy work and contributed to ongoing coverage within the solar industry.
Kent State University Fixed tilt GM
Kent State University highlighted its 616 kW fixed tilt solar array at the Salem Campus for its impact on campus energy use and long term sustainability goals. The ground mounted system, built behind the main academic building, consists of more than 1,500 panels and supplies roughly 73 percent of the campus’s electricity. The project is expected to deliver substantial operational savings over its contract period while reducing emissions by more than 600 tons of carbon dioxide. It stands out as a visible example of institutional solar adoption and was featured on the National Solar Tour for its performance and design.
University of Dayton Solar Tracker
The University of Dayton’s solar prairie project has also been featured for its role in the school’s broader sustainability efforts. The installation sits alongside six acres of native prairie habitat next to Curran Place, combining a solar array with ecological restoration that supports pollinators, reduces runoff, and strengthens green infrastructure on campus. Recognized as part of UD’s Bee Campus designation, the project highlights how solar development can integrate with environmental stewardship, community engagement, and long term campus sustainability planning.
