As we get ready to join our families and friends in celebrating Thanksgiving this year, I’d like to share some important things that the Inovateus team is grateful for.
We’re grateful for completing the biggest solar project in our company’s history and the largest utility-scale solar system in the state of Michigan—the massive 48 MWAC Lapeer solar farm providing solar-sourced power to thousands of utility customers.
We’re grateful for making excellent progress on the Michigan State University solar carport project. The first of five arrays has been completed and energized, with the other four soon to come online. Once all the switches are flipped, the collective project will be the largest of its kind in North America.
We’re grateful to be able to add to the solar portfolio of our friends and neighbors at Notre Dame University, with the now-operational ground-mount solar PV system generating power for one of the school’s storage facilities. (And yes, we’re also pretty stoked that the Irish trounced their intersectional archrival USC Trojans in the annual football matchup!)
We’re grateful to be in the midst of installing a significant rooftop solar system on our own headquarters, a project that will be finished by the end of the year. While that’s going on, we’re also looking to fill a few job openings, as we redouble our efforts to build a brilliant tomorrow.
We’re grateful to supply energy storage products, including Tesla’s, to our installer partners and to offer storage options in many of our recent project proposals. Cost-effective storage will accelerate Inovateus’ mission, which is why we’re so excited that these types of solutions are available.
We’re grateful that we can give back to our community, as our team members have volunteered to help out at the South Bend Center for the Homeless and to educate schoolchildren from St. Anthony de Padua School about the basics of solar energy at the Starbase Indiana STEM program school.
Of course, since it’s Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for our family and friends and the bounty of our tables. Whether it’s a succulent roasted turkey stuffed with grandma’s homemade dressing, or something of a less traditional, perhaps vegetarian nature, we count our blessings when we sit down to that wonderful communal meal.
Finally, we’re grateful for all our partners, customers and fellow clean energy revolutionaries, and wish you a very luminous Thanksgiving!
