Energy storage developer Convergent Energy + Power has signed a long-term agreement with grocery store chain Tops Friendly Market for three large-scale community solar-plus-storage facilities in upstate New York.
Over 75 Tops stores will be powered by the solar power plants, while residential billpayers will also be able to subscribe to buy power from the community facilities. Community solar (and solar-plus-storage) allow people that may not be able to have their own solar generation at their home or business to benefit from clean energy by subscribing to such ‘shared’ programmes.
Partnership with Convergent boosts renewable energy access in New York State Managing Editor Convergent’s solar-plus-storage projects, to be installed at more than 75 Tops stores, provide access to solar energy regardless of sunshine and reduce New York state’s reliance on power plants during peak demand hours.
Tops Markets LLC andConvergent Energy + Power, a provider of energy storage solutions, have joined forces to deliver more renewable energy to more than 75 of the grocer’s stores, in the form of farms pairing community solar with battery storage. Convergent’s solar-plus-storage projects provide access to solar energy regardless of whether the sun is shining and reduce New York state’s reliance on power plants during peak demand hours.
