Soltage, a leading independent power producer, announced this Wednesday it has invested in a 31-megawatts portfolio of five community solar projects located in South Carolina and Illinois. The investment comes from Soltage’s Iris capital vehicle with Harrison Street.
Firstly, the investment is in fact the most recent deployment from Soltage’s Iris capital vehicle with Harrison Street. They partnered back in March 2021 to deploy 450 MW of solar and storage projects across the United States. It was a $250 million partnership.
Moreover, today’s announcement brings the total investment deployed through the Soltage Iris vehicle to 16 total solar facilities and over 60 MWs.
In addition, the portfolio of projects includes one project in Illinois and four others in South Carolina. According to the statement, the electricity generated from these projects will be sold to municipal; commercial and residential community solar customers, as well as local utilities.
Furthermore, these projects will create local green job opportunities and generate tax revenue for regional economies. Jesse Grossman, Soltage co-founder, and CEO said about the matter. “We are proud to announce this investment, building on our 15-year track record of developing and investing in renewable energy assets to serve our diverse base of electricity consumers.”

Finally, Soltage has raised and invested over $1 billion into clean energy infrastructure since its founding in 2005. The company has developed over 100 clean energy projects; and has more than 450 MW of total distributed generating capacity under construction and management across the country.
