The opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics featured a beautiful video drawing attention to climate change. It was a somber, moving look at the challenges humans will face in the coming years if we do not take serious actions to become more sustainable. It made me think how Inovateus Solar accounts for people, profits, and the planet through its …
We’ve made significant progress on the construction of the Rincon Solar 1 solar farm outside of Savannah, Georgia, since we posted our first project update in June. In fact, the 21.24 MWDC (18.36 MWAC) 1000 V power plant is ready for testing and commissioning to begin in September. Rincon will soon be delivering clean energy to Georgia Power as part …
What makes Inovateus Solar different? First and foremost, it’s our people and their shared commitment to build a brilliant tomorrow via the proliferation of clean solar energy. We recently produced a corporate video that highlights many of our team members and lets them tell the story of the company, our history, our approach, our creativity, and our vision. We’ve divided …
In our latest Inovateus Solar project update, we’re happy to report that work on the first portion of the 58 MW DC (48 MWAC) Lapeer, MI, solar farm north of Detroit has progressed significantly since our update a month ago. More than 11,368 posts already have been installed, supporting over 3,374 racking systems equipped with nearly 68,000 solar panels. As a result, the …
Continuing with our project update blog series, we’d like to share some details about one of Inovateus’ job sites that is well on its way to being the largest solar farm in Michigan and one of the largest utility-owned solar installations east of the Mississippi. The project received the first of its 10,000-plus racking posts at a ribbon-cutting celebration on April …
We brought it, we rocked it, we won it. Inovateus’ own Rev. Ray and the Everlasting Incentives took top honors at the sixth annual Solar Battle of the Bands during Intersolar North America 2016 in San Francisco. The music from all the bands was great and the competition was fierce fun, but our boy-band flavored funk ‘n’ roll captured the hips …
Inovateus has enjoyed some solid local and regional media coverage over the past several years. We’re keen on getting the good word out about solar in our own area, so we’re happy when Midwest-based journalists write about what we’re doing or include us as sources in their stories. The latest local news coverage focuses on our project at Michigan State …
Nothing is more American than the Fourth of July. The national holiday celebrating our revolutionary past and declaration of independence from the English brings us together in a pyrotechnic-fueled burst of patriotic fervor. Here at Inovateus, July 4th also reminds us that we are involved in a modern revolution—the solar revolution—proudly helping to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to …
The onset of late spring and early summer not only signals the welcome annual warming trend, but the arrival of energy fair season in the Midwest. After making the trip to Wisconsin for the Midwest Renewable Energy Fair, members of the Inovateus Solar team attended another fair closer to our Michiana homes—the Michigan Renewable Energy Fair—on June 24-25. Founded in 2007, …
Many of those walking around the Energy Fair in bucolic Custer, Wisconsin, were regulars who had attended many previous events. But for us first-timers, the down-home get-together of thousands of activists, businesspeople and just plain folks was a refreshingly grasssroots affair. Celebrating its 27th year, the annual fair put on by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) gathered together an interesting cross-section of people and …
Intersolar North America, the first of the two annual U.S. solar industry main events, takes place July 12-14 in San Francisco—and key members of the Inovateus team will be there. Although we are not exhibiting this year, Inovateus will be spreading our message of building a brilliant tomorrow from the conference rooms to the tradeshow floor, from a live social …
As part of the Inovateus Solar blog, we’ll be giving readers regular updates about some of our solar projects, sharing a few details and photos about the progress. Between projects already under construction or about to have boots on the ground soon, Inovateus has more than 100 megawatts (MW) of utility, commercial and university solar power plant sites in the …
