ROCKVILLE, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#communitysolar–Expanding its nationwide asset portfolio, Standard Solar, Inc., a recognized leader in the ownership, operation, funding and development of commercial and community solar assets, today announced it has acquired 10 megawatts of community solar projects in Oregon.

The energy produced by the three ground-mount community solar arrays will allow residents and businesses in the Portland General Electric (PGE) and Pacific Power service territories to benefit from clean energy savings by offsetting their electricity bills with solar energy.
