Projects will power nearly 1,700 homes annually while providing long‑term community benefits and charitable investment across Delaware.

DOVER, Del., January 27, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TurningPoint Energy (TPE) and Standard Solar today announced they will collaborate to deliver 11.2 megawatts (MW) of community solar in Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware across two projects, expanding access to clean energy statewide.

Scheduled for completion in 2027, this community solar portfolio is a demonstration of both organizations’ commitment to invest in the Delaware community solar market as well as contribute to local charitable organizations.

This portfolio represents the continuation of TPE’s 2022 commitment to invest more than $100 million in projects across the state and marks the first collaboration between these two companies, both recognized as nation-wide leaders in the community solar market.

Located in Harrington and Bridgeville, each of the projects are 5.6-megawatt direct current (MWdc) single-axis tracker systems and are designed to collectively produce approximately 18,875 megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean energy. Together, these projects will power nearly 1,700 homes annually and offset 11,500 metric tons of carbon emissions.

TPE developed the projects, and Standard Solar will own and operate them to deliver long-term benefits for subscribers and local communities. Residents and businesses in the area can subscribe to these community solar projects, thereby lowering their electricity bills without the need to install solar panels on their property. In addition, 15% of the bill savings for the projects will be set aside to benefit low-income customers.

“This portfolio marks another important milestone in our commitment to advancing Delaware’s clean energy goals through community solar,” said Salar Naini, President of TPE. “We’re proud to partner with Standard Solar on this inaugural portfolio, whose long-term ownership and management will ensure these projects deliver lasting benefits to Delaware communities for decades to come.”

“This first portfolio with TPE brings together strong development expertise and long-term ownership to advance community solar in Delaware,” said Eric Partyka, Director of Business Development at Standard Solar. “Standard Solar recognizes the forward-looking policies the state has put in place, including its Renewable Portfolio Standard and community solar legislation, and with deep familiarity with Delaware’s policy and market environment, we’re well positioned to execute projects on schedule and at scale that deliver consistent value for subscribers, host communities and local organizations over the long term.”

In addition, both Kent and Sussex counties will also benefit from TPE’s longstanding commitment to charitable investment in the communities where the company develops projects, with a total of $40,000 in planned donations to local organizations.
