Summit Ridge Energy secures supply of U.S. manufactured PV inverters from Siemens
Looks like Summit Ridge Energy is among the first in line for Siemens‘ U.S.-made solar inverters. As a result, Summit Ridge says it now exceeds IRA guidelines by, securing all key solar panel components—including modules, racking, and inverters—domestically.
Siemens, a longstanding partner of Summit Ridge, plans to domestically manufacture 1,000 inverters, with scheduled deliveries to Summit Ridge projects across Illinois and Virginia starting in Q1 of 2025. This order totals approximately 125 MW.
“We are excited to partner with Siemens on this agreement, which is enabling our team to exceed the domestic content requirements outlined in the IRA,” said Mike Dillon, Senior Vice President of Operations at Summit Ridge Energy. “By sourcing domestically manufactured inverters, we are not only supporting American jobs but also ensuring the reliability and quality of our solar projects. This is a win-win for our company and the communities we serve.”
“Siemens is proud to support Summit Ridge as it sources stateside, not only leveraging the Inflation Reduction Act, but also bolstering a strong domestic supply chain for solar equipment,” said David Pisano, U.S. Segment Head of Utility Systems and Solutions at Siemens Smart Infrastructure USA. “Siemens is pleased to expand our smart infrastructure manufacturing footprint in the U.S., building utility-scale string inverters at our new Wisconsin factory. We applaud Summit Ridge for its commitment to growing domestic solar equipment as part of prudent energy security policy for the United States.”
