The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality is tracking more than 1,700 former industrial sites across the state. These sites present a powerful opportunity for Virginia: we can redevelop these lands with solar, meet the state’s energy needs, and support vast economic development while preserving Virginia’s most precious natural and agricultural resources.

Sun Tribe Trading is now RECmint! As the fastest-growing SREC aggregator in the Mid-Atlantic, RECmint is not only stepping into its own space with a rebrand, it’s also expanding into new PJM states and lowering costs for its users. The streamlined and automated platform is making it easier than ever for solar owners to monetize their PV systems and ensure peak system performance. For solar installers, the platform is fast and straightforward to use and offers customer integrations to simplify workflows. The RECmint team has built a trusted community of thousands of residential solar owners and 60+ installers partners — numbers which we know will continue to skyrocket. We are excited to see them take SREC aggregation to the next level with this shift. At Sun Tribe, we will continue to deepen our focus on the community-and utility-scale solar markets, providing leading quality project development, EPC, and O&M services, with a hyper-focus on those segments. Congrats to the RECmint team! Learn more in the press release: https://lnkd.in/gkTckvrA #SRECs

We’re making sure that the solar power developed to meet modern energy needs adds value to local communities and maintains the integrity of Virginia’s wild and open spaces. Developing solar energy on formerly mined lands has a myriad of benefits: ☀️Reduced liabilities associated with brownfields ☀️Provides a clean and affordable source of energy ☀️Supports longtime energy communities with new economic frontiers ☀️Economic value to landowners Together with our partners at The Nature Conservancy we’re working towards an energy transition that benefits all.

Do you know when the first solar cell was created? In April of 1954, scientists at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey made the first silicon solar cell; their development appeared on the front page of The New York Times that month. Solar energy technology has come a long way in the last 70 years. In 2016, the US surpassed 1 million solar installations. “In 2023, solar accounted for over 50% of new electricity generating capacity added to the grid and employs over 260,000 Americans. With over 179 GW of installed capacity and growing, the solar and storage industry has become an American energy powerhouse.” Read more about some milestone moments of American solar energy in this piece from Solar Energy Industries Association. https://lnkd.in/ehRwFDSZ

Renewable energy now makes up 30% of global electricity generation! Why does it matter? Electricity demand is rising for the first time in decades and renewables are an important part of a diverse and resilient energy mix. Technologies like EVs and AI are rapidly expanding, driving up electricity demand. And energy from the sun is virtually limitless making it an important part of achieving 100% independent electricity, reliably. #SolarEnergy #Electricity https://lnkd.in/dE5neaEq

Congratulations, Sunya Qamar on this series of accomplishments! We’re so glad to have you in the #SunTribe and are excited to be a part of the journey as you pursue this next chapter of your education. #SunTribeVibe
This past weekend, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Virginia with my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. This marks me as the first in my family to graduate from a traditional four-year University! I’m eternally grateful for all of my peers and educators that made my undergraduate experience as memorable as possible. I’ve experienced so much growth since my first year at UVA, and I could not be more thankful. I also wanted to highlight that a few weeks before graduation, I received two awards from the Chemical Engineering Department- the David Preddy Award, awarded to the senior design team with the best project, and the Excellence in Diversity Award, which highlighted my efforts through the Society of Women Engineers! Up next, I’ll be pursuing my Masters in Engineering in Civil & Environmental Engineering as a part-time student at UVA while continuing my full-time job with Sun Tribe Development. Excited for what the next phase of life holds, and Wahoowa!

Community solar benefits commercial real estate owners and the communities that they operate in. By allowing utility customers to tap into carbon-free energy resources without having to install solar on their property, this growing segment of the solar industry is widening access to clean energy resources. Utility customers can save on rates with affordable community solar projects and property owners can reduce operational carbon emissions. #SolarEnergy #SolarIndustry #RenewableEnergy https://lnkd.in/ecfmfHZv
