WeSolar Announces 8 MW Community Solar Deal with University of Maryland Medical System

WeSolar, the innovative company focused on making solar energy accessible to underserved communities, has announced a major 8 MW community solar partnership with the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS). This groundbreaking deal will provide clean, renewable energy to the medical system while advancing the mission of bringing affordable solar power to low-income communities.

The project will supply renewable energy from community solar farms to the University of Maryland Medical System, helping UMMS meet its sustainability goals while reducing its carbon footprint. As part of WeSolar’s mission to promote energy equity, this deal also allows low-to-moderate-income households to benefit from the same clean energy sources, enabling them to reduce their energy bills and contribute to environmental sustainability.

This partnership is a significant milestone in expanding community solar and reinforces WeSolar’s commitment to connecting large institutions with renewable energy solutions that benefit entire communities. The 8 MW solar farm will generate clean electricity for UMMS and participating community members, creating a model for how large institutions can work with solar developers to support sustainability and social justice.

WeSolar CEO Kristal Hansley said, “This partnership with the University of Maryland Medical System exemplifies the power of community solar to reduce energy costs for institutions and provide real economic benefits to underserved communities. We are proud to lead this project and demonstrate how solar can work for everyone.”

This collaboration is a critical step forward in demonstrating the potential of community solar to drive both environmental and economic progress, especially in areas that have been historically excluded from the renewable energy revolution.
