Navisun

Navisun is excited to announce a long-term, strategic partnership with Ampion, PBC. that will connect commercial, industrial, and residential community solar customers across four states with affordable, reliable clean energy. “As the renewable energy industry grows, it also needs to deliver clean energy in a long-term, responsible and sustainable manner,” said Navisun CEO Jason Spreyer. “By focusing on the long-term viability of our assets, Navisun ensures the projects we build today will continue to provide sustainable energy for decades to come. We’re glad to share that we are partnering with Ampion, whose shared commitment to long-term sustainability benefits not only our projects but the wider solar industry.” Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3AVO1ik

Navisun is headed to Anaheim! Next week, our team, including Jason Spreyer, Stephen Campbell, PE, Mark Anderson, Nathan Knapke, and Nathaniel Russell, will be on the ground at RE+ to make connections, explore the latest in renewable energy innovation, and share how we're working to drive the industry forward. Want to connect? Reach out to management@navisunllc.com. We look forward to seeing you there!

In honor of Labor Day, we want to thank all of the workers who have made our projects possible and who continue to be valued partners as we grow. We're proud to be able to support jobs that provide fair wages and help build the renewable energy economy. From everyone at Navisun, we hope you have an enjoyable and restful holiday weekend.

The Navisun team is feeling energized after a great time at RE+ Mid-Atlantic last week. We had incredible conversations involving domestic content, state-specific legislation, and development activity. Equally importantly, we connected with exceptional developers, valued vendors, and potential future partners who know these markets well. We're looking forward to all of the exciting things ahead in this important region.

We’re hiring a business analyst to join our team at Navisun's Avon, MA office! If you (or someone you know) is just starting out in your career and have a desire to help build something impactful, we're looking for someone who can perform a multitude of business activities, including budgeting, forecasting, and market research, while supporting our project finance, development, accounting/finance, and asset management teams.

Navisun is excited to head to RE+ Mid-Atlantic next week in Philadelphia! John Stroud, VP of Business Development, Brendan Canavan, VP of Asset Development and Execution, Nathaniel Russell, Director of Engineering, Stephanie Cromley, Director of Procurement, Community Solar, and Amy Caruso, Director of Project Controls, will all be in attendance. From sourcing innovative engineering partners and advancing procurement strategies to discovering co-development opportunities and discussing future Mid-Atlantic policies, we’re looking forward to meaningful conversations and exploring new collaborations. We hope to see you there!

At Navisun, we are proud to be at the forefront of American energy independence, powering communities across this great country of ours. We wish everyone a safe and fun Independence Day!

For one landowner in Australia, a solar farm has increased wool production by 15%. And yet solar grazing and other "agrivoltaics" are still under-utilized in Australia (and across the world) because many developers, despite saying they want to develop these kinds of sites, don't take the necessary steps sooner in the development process to ensure that the project comes together in a way that works for everyone. As developers and owner-operators of #agrivoltaics – a market we continue to be excited about – we appreciated this recent article from Grist. The article doesn't just highlight the proven mutual benefits of agrivoltaics done right, but it puts it so well: "Developers need to be talking to landowners earlier than they currently are." At Navisun, we make sure we take the time to understand the unique needs of every landowner we work with, and their property, to ensure the projects we develop produce the best results for everyone – because, as this article shows, when done well, it works.

Last week, Navisun's John Stroud, Brendan Canavan, (pictured below) and Nathan Knapke spent a productive three days in Denver discussing the future of #communitysolar, engaging on policy and program design, and meeting with top tier developers in the community solar space at Coalition for Community Solar Access' (CCSA) Innovation Summit. Navisun is committed to driving productive partnerships and adding value wherever needed. We look forward to continuing this important work and to seeing many of you in Philadelphia in July.

"These episodes highlight how the #globalenergytransition will encompass far more than just the switch away from fossil fuels. Beyond building out cheap #solar and #wind in the coming decades, the world may also need to embrace nuclear power, drastically alter our existing land use patterns, and fundamentally rebuild our transportation and electricity systems from the ground-up. There are many paths to a sustainable global energy economy of the future, but countries around the world will need to contend with deep political, economic, and social questions along the way in order to make this vision a reality." Even in our free time, we're thinking about the #renewableenergytransition and all the paths it can take. If you're interested in some great podcast recommendations, our structured finance associate, Matthew Livesay, recently shared two episodes with the team: Odd Lots (Epidsode: Rethinking Market Mechanisms for the Green Energy Transition): https://bloom.bg/3Xjft2C Ezra Klein Show (Episode: Is Green Growth Possible?): https://apple.co/4aU53tf
