Commercial Solar Installation Portfolio

PPM Solar is developing a 2 MW solar energy system—expanding to 4 MW—at San Felasco Tech City, a sustainable live-work-play community in Alachua, Florida. The system includes over 12,000 panels across rooftops, parking structures, and solar trees, generating enough electricity to power approximately 500 homes. This long-term partnership with Mitch Glaeser and Scherer Construction spans over seven years and represents one of North Florida’s largest community-scale solar deployments. The project offsets emissions equal to burning 4.5 million pounds of coal annually and supports economic growth, environmental resilience, and a forward-looking model for urban sustainability.

PPM Solar engineered and installed a 794 kW ballasted ground-mount solar system at DeConna Ice Cream, offsetting 64.4% of the facility’s annual electricity use and delivering an estimated $2 million in lifetime savings. The system features 2,146 REC Solar PV modules, SMA Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverters, and Aerocompact’s G10 racking—designed for modular reliability, groundwater protection, and hurricane resistance up to 117 mph. PPM also coordinated with Duke Energy to upgrade aging infrastructure by installing a new 750 kVA transformer at no cost to DeConna, supporting future expansion. Additionally, PPM assisted in securing two USDA grants to reduce project and equipment upgrade costs.

PPM Solar installed a 420 kW rooftop solar system at OFAB, a precision manufacturing facility in Ocala, Florida, supporting the company’s long-term sustainability and energy efficiency goals.

It features Trina Solar Vertex modules with 210mm wafers, multi-busbar architecture, and high-density interconnects—delivering over 600W per panel and module efficiencies up to 21.2%. Power is managed by SMA Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverters, known for advanced grid integration and low-maintenance operation. This installation reinforces OFAB’s leadership in sustainable manufacturing and demonstrates PPM Solar’s capability to deliver technically advanced, cost-effective energy systems for mission-critical industrial environments.

PPM Solar installed a 277 kW rooftop solar system at General RV’s Florida facility, offsetting approximately 35% of annual electricity use while operating entirely behind the meter to avoid unfavorable net metering conditions. PPM is currently developing a 1 MW system for General RV’s new North Carolina facility, extending its role as a trusted energy partner in the company’s multi-location sustainability strategy. The system includes high-efficiency Aptos DNA all-black modules—U.S.-manufactured and backed by a 30-year production warranty—paired with SMA America inverters for reliable performance. Panels were mounted using S-5! non-penetrating clamps to preserve roof integrity and maximize usable surface area.

PPM Solar completed a 151 kW rooftop solar installation at Just Add Power’s Florida manufacturing facility, advancing the company’s sustainability initiatives in line with the AV industry’s shift toward low-carbon operations. The system utilizes Canadian Solar’s bifacial modules—delivering up to 665W and 21.4% efficiency—and SMA Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverters for high-performance, grid-integrated energy production. PPM Solar also provides ongoing operations and maintenance, including hurricane-related component replacements under warranty, to ensure long-term reliability and stable energy output.

PPM Solar partnered with Florida Power & Light (FPL) in 2018 to install a 100 kW solar carport at Jessica Clinton Park in Port St. Lucie, Florida, as part of the SolarNow® program. The project features Lumos Solar’s translucent modules on a custom-designed canopy, with concealed wiring and a sleek glass-and-steel aesthetic that provides both shade and a modern architectural presence. Located in a 20-acre community park, the solar array supports the city’s sustainability goals while offering visitors a real-world example of clean energy in action. The installation enhances the park’s amenities and contributes to broader public education on renewable energy.
