A subordinate of Missouri-based clean energy start-up Greenbacker Renewable Energy Co.LLC has obtained the rights of three North Carolina Solar projects, which are under construction.
Greenbacker obtained the SE Solar Portfolio from SunEnergy1LLC. The three farms comprising of 21.8 MW, will be commercially operating by early next year.
