Through Chaberton Cares, we're proud to support the communities where our distributed energy projects are developed. Near our 7.74MWdc Project Wild Turkey in Rocky Ridge, MD, we recently contributed $5,000 to Catoctin Land Trust in support of Discover the Heart of Maryland, an event that brought together landowners and conservation organizations across Washington and Frederick counties.

This event was hosted by the Heart of Maryland Collaborative, a network of more than 30 organizations working to preserve farmland, protect habitat, and restore the woods and waters of the region. Those who attended had the chance to connect directly with conservation partners, learn about funding and technical assistance, and explore conservation projects for their own land, including by hosting distrubuted energy projects

Supporting organizations like Catoctin Land Trust helps continue opportunities for landowners to engage in conservation and long-term stewardship.

Together, we're making meaningful change in our communities. 🌿

Our series continues with Angelica Chang, director, employee experience, who shares what makes Chaberton's culture stand out.

"Our culture is really intentional here, it's woven into pretty much everything that we do," Angelica says. "It's really important to feel aligned with what you do."

The team's shared passion for the work and the communities we serve makes that culture feel real. For Angelica, that's what sets Team Chaberton apart— we show up for each other while working toward something meaningful together.

A total solar eclipse is coming on August 12, and solar energy and energy storage systems play a role in it. 🌑

The moon will pass between Earth and the sun today, completely blocking the sun along a path across northern Iceland, Greenland, northern Russia, Spain, and a small part of Portugal. You'll also see a partial eclipse across much of the Northern Hemisphere, including parts of the northern U.S.

For solar power, an eclipse means a drop in production, even outside the path of totality. Grid operators track these events for months. They line up backup generation and dispatch energy storage systems to cover the dip and keep power flowing without interruption.

It's a small window into a bigger shift. As solar and energy storage grow, the grid gets better at handling swings like this one, from cloud cover to eclipses to peak summer demand.

Planning to view it? Location matters. Cloud cover, the sun's height above the horizon, precipitation, haze, and light pollution all affect visibility.

Mentorship is one of the ways we invest in our people at Chaberton, and it keeps paying off in both personal growth and company innovation. Now in its third year, our mentorship program continues under the leadership of Avraham Calhoun, Founder of PEACEWITH, building on the foundation established in 2024 by John Saunders, author of The Optimizer: Building and Leading a Team of Serial Innovators.

Over several months, mentor-mentee pairs aligned personal goals with meaningful contributions to Chaberton. The program focused on leadership competencies and mindset development all while addressing real business challenges through hands-on capstone projects.

To close the formal mentorship program, mentees shared their capstone projects with the entire company. But the work doesn't end with the formal program. These are living projects that will continue to evolve and create value for Chaberton.

Meet the mentor-mentee pairs who made 2026 a success:
⭐ Lisa Henkel (mentee) - Lia Morrison (mentor): Idea to Implementation Framework
⭐ Thebe Tsatsimpe (mentee) - Stefano Ratti (mentor): Understanding BESS Commercialization
⭐ Danielle Horne (mentee) - Chuck Watkins (mentor): Chaberton Knowledge Connector
⭐ Lauren Barchi (mentee) - John Saunders, CIMA® (mentor): Navigating Conflict and Change
⭐ Mike Graziano (mentee) - Reason Abajuo (mentor): Market Negotiations Resource Development
⭐ Avery Clemens, MEng (mentee) - Avraham Calhoun (mentor): Interconnection Process Analysis

We're excited to see how these innovations shape our company culture and operations moving forward. The mentorship experience has proven that when we invest in our people, they invest right back into our mission.

Will we see you at RE+ Mid-Atlantic next week? ⚡

As states push decarbonization goals while keeping affordability front and center, distributed storage is becoming a key tool for grid flexibility and resilience. That's the topic of discussion for "The Distributed Storage Playbook: What Utilities, Developers, and Policymakers Need." Our president and co-founder Mike Doniger will join Scott Elias (CleanCapital), Lindsay Cherry (NineDot Energy), Haley Kotzker (Maryland Energy Administration), and Sowmya Krishnamoorthy (BGE) to talk program design, how the value of distributed storage should be measured, and what it takes to deploy megawatts while delivering real benefits for the grid and the communities that rely on it.

This is the conversation shaping what distributed storage looks like for years to come. Don't miss it — August 13 at 10:30 a.m. EST. 🔋

We're celebrating by shining the spotlight on our incredible summer interns!

⭐Chinatu Achor, an economic and political science major from Howard University, is back with our legal team for a second summer. Chinatu was drawn to Chaberton's community-centered approach to solar and the legal team's willingness to teach, and continues to build her skills in contract negotiations as she looks ahead to law school.

⭐Malachie Brunache, studying political science at Howard University, is interning with our market development team. With a longstanding passion for policy analysis, Malachie is expanding his experience in bill and ordinance review into the energy industry.

⭐Adam Dipasquale, a mechanical engineering major at West Virginia University, is diving into hands-on work with our engineering team. What stood out to Adam most is how close-knit the department is, and he's building his knowledge on the distributed energy industry and the software behind project designs.

This year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasted the strongest four-year growth in U.S. electricity demand since 2000, and data centers are the biggest driver. Homes, factories, and EVs are pulling on the grid too.

Distributed energy is one answer to this energy problem. Storage and solar build fast and cost less than any other new energy resource. These projects connect close to where power is needed and reduce strain on the grid.

That's the conversation Chaberton brings to the Data Center Frontier Trends Summit next week in Reston, Virginia. President and co-founder Mike Doniger will be there.

If you're there August 4-6, let's talk about where local energy fits in.

07/22/2026

Baltimore County, Maryland, is home to a renewable energy generation plant that powers 500 local households at a discounted cost. It displaces roughly 2,800 tons of CO2 a year. And it gives a herd of grazing sheep a home, plenty of food, and for their grazier, critical income. ☀️ 🐑

We're talking about Project Matterhorn in Woodstock. The 3MWdc community solar array came online last year. It generates local, more affordable energy for residents. It also hosts agrivoltaics, where solar systems and agricultural activity share the same land.

Solar energy remains the most affordable and fastest-to-deploy source of new electricity generation available today. As demand continues to climb, solar and storage help the grid hold steady, even during peak periods.

👀 And peep those happy sheep frolicking at the end of the video!

We are proud to help shape America's distributed energy future. Responsibly, creatively, and always with community at the center.

Our series continues with Mike Graziano, manager, development, who shares what makes working in solar so rewarding.

"Chaberton values relationships, not just with employees, but also the landowners and the community itself," Mike shares. "It's cool that I can make an impact in this field and help provide more affordable energy across the community."

What drew Mike to Chaberton was a team of smart, enthusiastic people who genuinely love what they do and are always willing to help each other out. In an industry that's only becoming more essential, Mike sees his work as a chance to build something that benefits everyone involved.
