Energy storage provider Convergent Energy + Power has added three more solar + storage systems for Choptank Electrical Cooperative based in Maryland. These systems are in addition to the two systems Convergent has been operating for the utility since 2019. These new solar + storage systems add 4 MW/8 MWh of storage and over 2 MW of solar PV to Convergent’s existing portfolio in the Delmarva peninsula.

“Adding an energy storage system to existing solar PV is one of the best ways to optimize solar performance, lower energy costs, and increase reliability,” says Frank Genova, Convergent’s Chief Operating and Financial Officer. “Convergent has over a decade of expertise developing standalone storage and solar-plus-storage to advance the clean energy transition while maximizing the value and performance of solar for our partners and our customers.”
