    2026/08/04
    Maryland sets a hearing date on a new Garrett County project, ComEd and Solar Landscape turn Public Storage rooftops into a forty-four megawatt Illinois portfolio, New Mexico rewrites its community solar rulebook with the rehearing window closing this week, and Virginia's shared solar program more than doubles in size. Four states, four different stages of the pipeline.

  • Boring Is the Tell: Delaware Locks In a Savings Floor, Illinois Keeps Showing Up
    2026/07/30
    A seventh straight year on the leaderboard, development financing built for the unglamorous middle of the pipeline, and a Delaware law that turns a subscriber savings floor into an actual statute. No mega-deal this week, just the kind of steady progress that adds up.
