Rooftop solar projects in Mountain Top, PA, deliver clean energy to the local community

Boulder, CO [April 14, 2026] - Today, Sigma Renewables, a premier renewable energy developer, Scale, designer, builder, and financier of energy infrastructure projects, EQT Real Estate, a leading global real estate investor with $58B in gross asset value under management, and Black Bear Energy, a commercial buyer’s representative specializing in onsite renewable energy and cleantech services, celebrated the energization of two rooftop solar projects in Mountain Top, PA.

The projects, hosted on two industrial buildings owned by EQT Real Estate, total 4.9 MW and will generate 6 million kWh of renewable energy annually, the equivalent of powering 540 homes each year.  These projects are made possible through Pennsylvania’s virtual net metering opportunity.  Each building’s rooftop has been enhanced with solar panels to deliver clean energy to the local grid. In addition to delivering affordable energy to the community, the projects create local jobs during construction and maintenance, and strengthen Pennsylvania’s electric grid with reliable distributed generation.

These installations represent the first phase of the partnership between Sigma Renewables, Scale, EQT Real Estate, and Black Bear Energy, with many more projects expected to begin operations in Pennsylvania in the coming years. This repeatability demonstrates the positive results that can be achieved with a systematic approach and strong partnerships.

"We are pleased to highlight this successful project reaching COD which is neither the first, nor the last with our extensive relationship with Sigma Renewables," said Julian Torres, the Chief Investment Officer of Scale. "Over time, we expect over 100 MW of distributed solar projects that will be driving much needed grid infrastructure upgrades and economic benefits to our host customers."

“Projects like these are a great example of what renewable energy can do,” said Zachary Friedman, co-founder of Sigma Renewables. “They generate clean electricity on an otherwise unusable space, support the local economy, and help keep energy prices more affordable for consumers. The partnership between Sigma Renewables, Scale, EQT Real Estate, and Black Bear Energy, will allow us to efficiently deploy more of these projects across Pennsylvania and the rest of the country.”

”We are thrilled by opportunities like these two projects that enable us to quickly and successfully deploy renewable energy resources on our properties. Such projects contribute to achieving our sustainability objectives while also delivering economic benefit for our investors,” said Matt Praske, Head of Sustainability for EQT Real Estate.

“These projects demonstrate how industrial rooftops can play a meaningful role in strengthening local energy systems,” commented Victoria Stulgis, President of Black Bear Energy. “By working closely with EQT Real Estate, Sigma Renewables, and Scale, we’re delivering clean, reliable power to the Mountain Top community while creating local economic benefits and improving grid resilience. This is the kind of practical, high-impact renewable energy deployment that we’re proud to help scale across Pennsylvania.”
