TGC partners with Create Energy for supply of ReCreate solar modules

Create Energy announced that it will supply ReCreate modules to funds and solar projects managed by True Green Capital Management LLC (TGC). The strategic sourcing partnership with TGC will start with an initial 5.2 MW of ReCreate Modules for Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Distributed Generation (DG) projects across TGC’s extensive portfolio.

We profiled Create Energy’s growing “Un-evil Empire” in an exclusive interview with Dean Solon, Founder, CEO, President and Commander in Jorts at Create Energy, in our Q1 issue. This collaboration is a significant step in the company’s C&I and DG plans.

“We are excited to work with TGC to bring our ReCreate Modules and our other advanced energy solutions to their impressive portfolio,” Solon stated. “This partnership underscores our commitment to driving the transition to sustainable energy and providing our customers with the highest quality products and components to achieve their renewable project goals.”

Through this partnership, TGC will gain access to Create Energy’s innovative products and comprehensive ecosystem of solutions. This one-stop-shop approach will streamline the sourcing process, ensuring that TGC can efficiently integrate cutting-edge energy technologies into their projects.

Create Energy in C&I

Launched in 2023, Create Energy is a one-stop shop for developers, IPPs, EPCs, and utilities developing renewable energy projects. In conjunction with the Create Energy launch, Solon also teamed with Peter Joanna and Ron Corio, former CEO of Array Technologies, to launch private equity firm Neos Partners.

Each company in the Neos portfolio will benefit from additional capacity at their factories — “double or triple in under 12 months,” Solon estimates.

The Create empire also consists of joint ventures. The most notable to this point is a new PV module company called ReCreate Solar, a JV founded by Solon and RECOM Technologies CEO Hamlet Tunyan. RECOM is a European module and cell manufacturer. ReCreate Solar will pump out modules and cells from a facility in Portland, Tennessee, inside Create Energy’s HQ and Giga-Shop.

Create Energy’s first customer was actually the Nissan Corp. The Nissan North America headquarters in Franklin, Tenn., is now home to what the Create team is dubbing (and trademarking) a “NanoGrid” — a 60 kW carport + 500 kWh battery energy storage solution that feeds into 16 Level 2 charging stations, and two Level 3s capable of vehicle-to-grid bidirectional charging.
