“We’re excited to take this important step toward a more sustainable future,” said Christopher Graham, Solvita’s president and CEO. “Installing solar panels not only helps us lower our environmental impact, but it also demonstrates our long-term investment in energy efficiency and growth in tissue graft production.”
The solar array was developed under a power purchase agreement with owner and operator IGS Energy and was built by Kokosing Solar. It is awaiting its final permission to operate from the utility, which is expected imminently, according to Solvita.
“Together, we’ve brought innovation, sustainability and economic growth to the region through one of its largest distributed solar installations. This project is a testament to what is possible when community-focused organizations work together to build a more sustainable future,” said Maha Kashani, senior regional sales manager at IGS Energy.
The “Sol Array” was a collaboration among Solvita, IGS Energy, AES Ohio, Kokosing Solar and the city of Kettering/Miami Valley Research Park, Kashani said.
