Project Friendship consists of two adjacent projects owned and operated by Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company, with subscriptions managed by Neighborhood Sun. The projects are fully operational as of early 2023 and serve local community residents and small businesses via the Community Solar Maryland program, and Loyola University Maryland via the Aggregate Net Energy Metering program. Like all our projects in the mid-Atlantic, Friendship features a pollinator habitat, which will help restore bee population and increase productivity of surrounding farms. The solar farm also includes an additional 4 acres of native plants and trees planted around its perimeter.
