Chaberton's Project Wellington was the first solar farm reviewed under Suffolk, Virginia’s updated setback requirements, and the Suffolk Planning Commission unanimously approved the 4.99 MW project. ☀️

Wellington reflects a clear standard: thoughtful siting, meaningful buffering, and strong alignment with local priorities. The project was designed to respect its rural surroundings while delivering reliable, local energy.

Expected to power approximately 850 homes annually, this community-scale energy project represents the kind of balanced development that is increasingly important as community solar continues to expand across the Commonwealth. This approval underscores what’s possible when clear policy, strong design, and community engagement come together.

We look forward to advancing the project through the next phase and continuing to build responsibly across Virginia. ⚡

Our values are at the center of everything we do. Creativity, excellence, and humanity shape how we hire, how we develop projects, how we treat our partners and the communities we work in, and how we show up for each other.

We're proud of this recognition. We're prouder still of the team that earned it.

After a full day of collaboration and strategy sessions during Team Week, we traded meeting rooms for the Chicago skyline aboard a dinner cruise at Navy Pier. 🌆⛴️

Between the views, laughs, and conversations across teams, the evening was a great reminder of the importance of creating intentional moments for connection as a largely remote team. We left the retreat feeling aligned, energized, and ready to meet big goals.

How do you connect beyond the tactical with colleagues in a remote environment? We're always looking for new ways to engage.

We had an incredible day at Coalition for Community Solar Access's Distributed Energy Innovation Summit yesterday. Chaberton's CEO and co-founder Stefano Ratti brought sharp insights to "Executives Panel: Distributed Energy Is Keeping Electricity Affordable" alongside some of the solar industry's most respected leaders.

The conversation covered why distributed energy assets like community solar and energy storage are not just complementary solutions, but the most immediate and cost-effective tools available to meet rising load growth.

Huge thanks to Jeff Cramer, President & CEO of CCSA, for leading the conversation, and Stefano's fellow panelists:
⚡Tom Hunt, CEO, Pivot Energy
⚡ David Arfin, CEO and Co-founder, NineDot Energy
⚡Laura York, Senior VP of Strategic Development, Nautilus Solar Energy

The load growth challenge is real and so is the solution. Proud to be part of the industry leading the charge. ☀️

When entering a new market, Chaberton shows up before anyone expects us. We want to hear what a community values before we ask for anything.

That approach has shaped projects in Illinois, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, and beyond. It's also behind Chaberton Cares, our community benefit program that puts funding into local nonprofits before a project breaks ground.

Team Chaberton headed to Illinois earlier this month for a company retreat. We covered ground from Peoria to the shores of Lake Michigan, connecting in 3D for honest conversation, data-backed planning, and real alignment on where we're headed in the second half of 2026.

We held team meetings, an all-hands town hall, a guest speaker session, and got to test a new Chaberton-designed energy storage visualizer. We also spent meaningful time with Illinois landowners and Chaberton Cares partners, and topped the week off with a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan.

Energized doesn't begin to cover it. ⚡️
